Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

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.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

If you go out looking for friends, you're going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

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

Real friends stab you in the front.

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

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

Women can form a friendship with a man very well; but to preserve it, a slight physical antipathy most probably helps.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.

Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

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