My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.

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

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

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

The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

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

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

We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.

Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.

Friendship is love without his wings!

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

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

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

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

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.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.
