The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses.

David Storey

True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.

Baltasar Gracian

I find I really put careful consideration into my friendships with women because the relationships can be so sensitive. Let's face it: some women can be down right catty. This is what makes me cautious, but also what makes my true friendships so dear to me.

Camille Grammer

True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Henry David Thoreau

Networking is all about connecting with people. But then again, isn't that what life is about?

Entrepreneurs need to remember to spend as much time working on their business as they do in their business.

Jay Samit

Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.

I regret not working harder to create true friendships with other couples, not seeking out people with whom to go do things and go places - people with whom to have a few crazy, memorable bonding adventures.
