Man's best support is a very dear friend.

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.

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

A man should never neglect his family for business.

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

There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.

A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

The best kind of friend is the kind you sit with, never say a word and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

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

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

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

If you have a candle, the light won't glow any dimmer if I light yours off of mine.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
