He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.
True friends stab you in the front.
Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.
Life is one fool thing after another whereas love is two fool things after each other.
Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.

The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly deceived
The secret of life is never to have an emotion that is unbecoming.
