The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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.

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

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

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

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, does the heart find its morning and is refreshed.

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

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

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

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

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

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
