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

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

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

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

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

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

Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.

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

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

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

The majority of people permit relatives, friends, and the public at large to so influence them that they cannot live their own lives, because they fear criticism.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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.

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

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

Tis a great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults; greater to tell him his.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
