When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.They're in my head.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
