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

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

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

You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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.

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

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

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.

I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.

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

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.

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

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.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

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

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
