The Little Friend is a long book. It's also completely different from my first novel: different landscape, different characters, different use of language and diction, different approach to story.

Friendship's the privilege of private men; for wretched greatness knows no blessing so substantial.

I think all jocks have a sensitive side. It's just, will they show it to anybody? Will they let their guard down and stop being tough and the cool jock guy around their friends, or just relax? I don't know if it's best to say opening up, but just relax and really say what you're actually thinking, and not what you think people want to hear.

I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with.

The most important thing is to follow your instinct and get involved with some friends who have similar tastes and aspirations and like music as much as you do.

Stick to the basics, hold on to your family and friends - they will never go out of fashion.

You must surrender whatever preconceptions you have about music if you're really interested in it.

I wouldn't dream of selling my work. I give them to friends, to charities.

You find out who your real friends are when you're involved in a scandal.

I have always done my duty. I am ready to die. My only regret is for the friends I leave behind me.

He that does a base thing in zeal for his friend burns the golden thread that ties their hearts together.

Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.

Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend.

Love is friendship set on fire.

In closing I wish to say that while I was sorely beset by a number of white riders in my racing days, I have also enjoyed the friendship of countless thousands of white men whom I class as among my closest friends.

When the legends die, the dreams end; there is no more greatness.

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.

The first glass is for myself, the second for my friends, the third for good humor, and the forth for my enemies.

Man's wisdom is his best friend; folly his worst enemy.

No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.
