The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do.

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.
Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.
