Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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.

Real friends stab you in the front.

Children make your life important.

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.

Betray a friend, and you'll often find you have ruined yourself.

There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back

I get by with a little help from my friends.

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

A man should never neglect his family for business.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

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.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

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