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

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

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

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

Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

The best kind of friend is the kind you sit with, never say a word and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.
