Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

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.

Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back

You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.

A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.

It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.

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

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.

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.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

A man should never neglect his family for business.
