A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

A friend to me has no race, no class and belongs to no minority. My friendships were formed out of affection, mutual respect and a feeling of having something strong in common. These are eternal values that cannot be racially classified. This is the way I look at race.

The better part of one's life consists of his friendships

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

There are no laws, there are no rules, just grab your friend and love him.

You can't make old friends. You either have them or you don't.
