Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.

Real friends stab you in the front.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

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.

One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

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.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

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

I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.

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

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

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

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

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