I'm thrilled the president [Barack Obama] has endorsed me. We started off as fierce competitors, and we've ended up as true friends and partners and worked together on so many important issues.
True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open.
A true friend is someone who says nice things behind your back.

The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth; who insists that the creature of man’s making shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made it. The citizens of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have called into being. There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains. To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done.
I think love and friends are two things that you don't chase. True love and true friends come.
When you train a horse on a daily basis, you're a part of the horse's movement, you're a part of his motion. Everything that the horse experiences is coming from you. There's a total connection -- a true friendship -- and the connection touches the soul completely.
If you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
A true friend sees past your excuses to the real reason it's not your fault.
True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together.
Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are the artist's true friend.
Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them. A true friend is one soul in two bodies
True friends are like bright sunflowers that never fade away, even over distance and time
