Children make your life important.

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

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 in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

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

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

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

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.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

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

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

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

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

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

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
