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

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

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

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.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.

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.

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

Between friends there is no need of justice.

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

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

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

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

Real friends stab you in the front.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
