Between friends there is no need of justice.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Betray a friend, and you'll often find you have ruined yourself.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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.

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

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

To throw away an honest friend is, as it were, to throw your life away

No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

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

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.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

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

I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.

Friendship is love without his wings!

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

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
