I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.

What was more, they had taken the first step toward genuine friendship. They had exchanged vulnerabilities.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

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

One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

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

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Children make your life important.

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.

To throw away an honest friend is, as it were, to throw your life away

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

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

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

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

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

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

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

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.
