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

A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.

It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.

Children make your life important.

Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

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

To throw away an honest friend is, as it were, to throw your life away

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.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

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

Real friends stab you in the front.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you

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.

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