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

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

If you have a candle, the light won't glow any dimmer if I light yours off of mine.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.

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

The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

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