Children make your life important.

As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.

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

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

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

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

A man should never neglect his family for business.

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.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

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

You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.

Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.

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

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