The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.
A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.
Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity
Children make your life important.
A good friend will always stab you in the front.
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.
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.They're in my head.
Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.
Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.
There is no friend as loyal as a book.
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
The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
