If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.

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

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

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

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

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

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

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.

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.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

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

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.

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.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.
