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.

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.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

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

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

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

Children make your life important.

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

As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.

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.

Man's best support is a very dear friend.

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

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

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.

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Between friends there is no need of justice.
