In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
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.
People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
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.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
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.
Between friends there is no need of justice.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
True friends ... face in the same direction, toward common projects, interests, goals.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.
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.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.
