One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

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 someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

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

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.

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

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

Man's best support is a very dear friend.

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

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

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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