Mizner, Wilson

Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down.

It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
