Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
True friends ... face in the same direction, toward common projects, interests, goals.
No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft...
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
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.
The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
