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

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

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 friend is, as it were, a second self.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.They're in my head.

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

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.

Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.

Real friends stab you in the front.

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

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

Loyalty is what we seek in friendship.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.

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