Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the objet of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have cought happiness without dreaming of it.
People can be divided into these types: strangers, acquaintances, familiar people, friends, and close friends. True friendship isn't about compliments to your face, but whether you're mentioned when they talk about friends behind your back.
