Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.
Don't support the phonies, SUPPORT THE REAL
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
The only good thing about times of adversity is that you realize who your real friends and fans are - and the rest go away - which in my mind is an OK thing.
It is better to fall in with crows than with flatterers; for in the one case you are devoured when dead, in the other case while alive.
Crazy how you gotta wait until it's dark out to see who really with you.
In this age of social media, it is easy to punch out a phrase 'thoughts are with the family' when something bad occurs, and at times, it is insincere.

Life is overwhelming. Life is not easy. Life is tough and you need something that really works and helps you actually, not promises to help you, then fail.
Man's best friend is one who wishes well to the object of his wish for his sake, even if no one is to know of it.
If they liked you, they didn't applaud -- they let you live.
When I put my credibility behind someone, or anything - even if it's a product - to me, it has to help people.
Winning supporters over can only really be achieved by what you do, not what you say. It's no use just smiling and shaking hands and getting quoted with witty one-liners.
I'm the prime example of it; think about it, you know. My whole career has blown up by genuine people power.
The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
Flattery is saying something nice in order to help yourself. Encouragement is saying something true in order help someone else.
It's hard to find someone who is really genuinely happy for you if you are having success and they're not.
I'd rather have 100,000 people who really get what I'm doing and like it for what it is than a million who can take it or leave it.
I was fortunate enough to have a situation in my life where everything did shake out and hit rock bottom, and I did see who was standing there and really saw who had my back for real.
All you 'Twilight' fans, can't thank you really enough for being so supportive. You're real cool people.
The best way we serve the people we admire is to tell them the truth.
