My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

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

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.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.

Real friends stab you in the front.

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

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

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

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

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

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

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

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