The proper way to create friends is to have a warm heart, not simply money or power. The friend of power and the friend of money are something different.
Neither the army nor the treasury, but friends, are the true supports of the throne; for friends cannot be collected by force of arms, nor purchased with money; they are the offspring of kindness and sincerity.
At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare, and its triumphs have been due to minorities.
True friends stab you in the front.
The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
If we merely try to impress people and get people interested in us, we will never have many true, sincere friends. Friends, real friends, are not made that way.
Real friends. The kind that don't purposely hurt your feelings or stop liking you for no reason.
You kind of need to weed through who is wanting to be a true friend.
