Friendship is love without his wings!

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

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

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

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

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

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

It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.

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

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

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

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.
