Friends and friendship

No young man starting in life could have better capital than plenty of friends. They will strengthen his credit, support him in every great effort, and make him what, unaided, he could never be. Friends of the right sort will help him more -- to be happy and successful -- than much money...

- Marden, Orison Swett

Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down.

It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
