Friends are nothing but a known enemy

It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.

There is a magic in the memory of a schoolboy friendship. It softens the heart, and even affects the nervous system of those who have no heart.

Betray a friend, and you'll often find you have ruined yourself.

The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.

What was more, they had taken the first step toward genuine friendship. They had exchanged vulnerabilities.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

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

Between friends there is no need of justice.

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.

Real friends stab you in the front.

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.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

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

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.

I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.

Man's best support is a very dear friend.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
