Man's best support is a very dear friend.
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
True friends ... face in the same direction, toward common projects, interests, goals.
Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.
No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
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.
I get by with a little help from my friends.
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Tis a great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults; greater to tell him his.
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.
Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
