As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.
I get by with a little help from my friends.
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.
I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.They're in my head.
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
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.
People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
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.
Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.
We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.
Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.
So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.
