I have lots of friends, but I'm probably a terrible friend to all of them, even my family. I wouldn't be surprised if I found myself with no friends later on in life. My friends become my enemies.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Choose your friends wisely, and also choose friends that you can trust.

You really find out who your friends are and who you can trust. That definitely toughens you.

The one thing I've always said: Let your family and close friends be the judge of who you are as a person. Don't worry about being judged by others who don't know you, because your family and close friends know what you're all about, good and bad.

Benefit your friends; make sure your enemies suffer from being your enemies.

Everyone is your best friend when you are successful. Make sure that the people that you surround yourself with are also the people that you are not afraid of failing with.

Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

Choose your friends carefully. It is they who will lead you in one direction or the other.
