Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

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

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.

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

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

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

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

Loyalty is what we seek in friendship.

The majority of people permit relatives, friends, and the public at large to so influence them that they cannot live their own lives, because they fear criticism.

Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.

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.

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.
