The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.
