Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
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.
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.
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.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.
There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.
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.
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.
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
I get by with a little help from my friends.
Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft...
Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
Man's best support is a very dear friend.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
