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.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.
Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.
Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.
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.
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
