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.
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.
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.
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.
A man should never neglect his family for business.

Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
There is no friend as loyal as a book.
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
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.
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.
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
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.
There is a magic in the memory of a schoolboy friendship. It softens the heart, and even affects the nervous system of those who have no heart.
A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
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.
The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.
Man's best support is a very dear friend.
