Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

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

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

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

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

A man should never neglect his family for business.

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.

Man's best support is a very dear friend.

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

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

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

The majority of people permit relatives, friends, and the public at large to so influence them that they cannot live their own lives, because they fear criticism.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

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

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