People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.
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.

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.
Man's best support is a very dear friend.
It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
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.
The best kind of friend is the kind you sit with, never say a word and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.
