You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.

The majority of people permit relatives, friends, and the public at large to so influence them that they cannot live their own lives, because they fear criticism.

There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.

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

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Women can form a friendship with a man very well; but to preserve it, a slight physical antipathy most probably helps.

Friendship is love without his wings!

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.

The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.

You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.
