People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.

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 don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.

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

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

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.

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

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

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

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