“Prosperity is full of friends.”

“For when do friends not delight in the sorrow of the prosperous?”

“Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.”

“I loathe a friend whose gratitude grows old, a friend who takes his friend's prosperity but will not voyage with him in his grief”

“It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.”

“FUTURE, n.
That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured.”

“Histories are more full of Examples of the Fidelity of dogs than of Friends.”

“Take ye my solemn farewell! O, my friends,
Already night is darkening on my eyes;—
But is not Heaven most beautiful by night?
Thousands of stars shine in the kindling sky,
Which is an azure desert during day.
Thus do the gathering of eternal shades
Reveal innumerable thoughts, half lost
In the full daylight of prosperity.”

“The Soviet Union is dead and gone and replaced by the Russian Federation, which is a country we can be friends with now, thank God — and we want the Russians to prosper, and should help the Russians prosper in every way we can within reason.”

“And I can tell you as a friend that sustainable prosperity in the 21st century depends upon education, health care, and environmental protection. But it also depends on the free and open exchange of ideas. If you can’t access information online, if you cannot be exposed to different points of view, you will not reach your full potential. And over time, the youth will lose hope.”
