Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.
If you go out looking for friends, you're going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.
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.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.
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.
A friend is, as it were, a second self.
Friendship is love without his wings!
Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
