If you go out looking for friends, you're going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

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.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

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.

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

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

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

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friendship is love without his wings!

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

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

The best kind of friend is the kind you sit with, never say a word and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still.

Man's best support is a very dear friend.
