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

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

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

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

What was more, they had taken the first step toward genuine friendship. They had exchanged vulnerabilities.

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

One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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 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.

True friends ... face in the same direction, toward common projects, interests, goals.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.

I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

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

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

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still.

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