True Friendship Is Rare True friendship is so rare. In politics there is no such thing as permanent friendship or permanent enmity, but only permanent interest.
Business is all self-interest.
In social exchanges friendship is a matter of convenience. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man. Some so-called friends dominate you, exploit you, manipulate you, and some cling to and use you. It is not so easy to find a true friend. A man may have salvation through such friendship.
