There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.
Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.
You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.
There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.
Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
There is no friend as loyal as a book.
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.
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, does the heart find its morning and is refreshed.
I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.
If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.
It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
