Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

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.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.

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

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.

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

Friendship is love without his wings!

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

Tis a great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults; greater to tell him his.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

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

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.

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