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

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

Man's best support is a very dear friend.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

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

There is a magic in the memory of a schoolboy friendship. It softens the heart, and even affects the nervous system of those who have no heart.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

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.

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

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

Real friends stab you in the front.

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

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

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

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

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

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