A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

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

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

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still.

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

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

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

If you have a candle, the light won't glow any dimmer if I light yours off of mine.

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do.

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

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

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

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