Formerly, if you killed a man, it was possible that you were insanebut now, if you, having friends and money, kill a man, it is evidence that you are a lunatic.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends
Walt Whitman
Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?
George Eliot
A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship, as experience shows that the callosity formed around a broken bone makes it stronger than before.
St. Francis de Sales
The vulgar crowd values friends according to their usefulness
Ovid
It is inevitable that those to whom is vouchsafed a long life of usefulness should outlive the friends of their youth
Cleveland Abbe
The American people await action. They didn't send us here to bicker. They ask us to rise above the merely partisan. "In crucial things, unity" and this, my friends, is crucial.
George Herbert Walker Bush
No one has a closest friend in Hollywood. These guys do not do friends in the orthodox sense!
Sheilah Graham
If you live in the river you should make friends with the crocodile
Indian Proverb
A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that action, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment to friends; and that the most liberal professions of good-will are very far from being the surest marks of it.
George Washington
