Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.

Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.

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.

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

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.

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

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Children make your life important.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

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

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

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

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.

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

It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
