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

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

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

Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

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

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

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

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

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

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

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

If you go out looking for friends, you're going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.
