If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

The best kind of friend is the kind you sit with, never say a word and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

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.

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

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

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

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.

I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
