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

Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.

Man's best support is a very dear friend.

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

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

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.

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

You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.

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

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.

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

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

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

Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.

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

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

A friend to all is a friend to none.

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 blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.
