I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.

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.

I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Children make your life important.

Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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.

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

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

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

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.

Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still.

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.

If you have a candle, the light won't glow any dimmer if I light yours off of mine.

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

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.

Tis a great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults; greater to tell him his.

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