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

Tis a great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults; greater to tell him his.

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft...

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.

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.

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

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

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

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

There is a magic in the memory of a schoolboy friendship. It softens the heart, and even affects the nervous system of those who have no heart.

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

A friend to all is a friend to none.

If you go out looking for friends, you're going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

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.

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.

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

Children make your life important.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

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.
