Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

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.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

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

Friendship is love without his wings!

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.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft...

It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
