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

A man should never neglect his family for business.

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

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

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

Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

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

We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.

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.

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

Women can form a friendship with a man very well; but to preserve it, a slight physical antipathy most probably helps.

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

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

I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.They're in my head.

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.

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.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.

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