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.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

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.

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still.

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

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

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

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

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

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

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.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

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

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

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