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

Children make your life important.

The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

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

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

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

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

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

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.

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

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

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

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