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.

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

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

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.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

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

Loyalty is what we seek in friendship.
