A friend to all is a friend to none.
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.
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.
Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.
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.
A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still.
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.
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.
It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.
Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.
