Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.
It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.
Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.
A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Women can form a friendship with a man very well; but to preserve it, a slight physical antipathy most probably helps.
Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.
My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.
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.
Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.
Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.
Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.
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 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 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.
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.
No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.
Tis a great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults; greater to tell him his.
