I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.
Allowing a friend to careen toward self destruction is not friendship. That is a habit the United States needs to break as it pursues a richer and more deeply supportive relationship with Israel.
Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.
Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.
My last public performance for money was in 1967. For free, it was 1972, with the exception of two little one-shot, one-song things. But that's just for friends, out of friendship for the people involved, and also because it was fun.
In romance, we feel the need to zoom in and expound on our partner's foibles in intimate detail; in friendship, we tend to do the opposite, avoiding confrontation through fear, lethargy or both.
The real thing young people should fear is missing out on those few, true, long-term friendships that make for a richer, happier life.
What does being a woman today mean? Is there a right way of doing it? Is there a wrong way of doing it? Different kinds of women, female friendships: It's all pretty funny, and worth making fun of.
It's funny, I'd rather be known as a writer who crafted a really nice piece about women's friendships over time. But that doesn't roll off the tongue like 'YouTube sensation.'
You don't have to dislike people you disagree with and it doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to have bipartisan friendships in this place. Life's too short to have it any other way.
All the details of the life and the quirks and the friendships can be laid out for us, but the mystery of the writing will remain. No amount of documentation, however fascinating, can take us there.
Always abide by your positive principles even if it would result in most of your friends abandoning you. Friendship is about quality not quantity.
The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame
Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way.
Great souls by instinct to each other turn, demand alliance, and in friendship burn.
Great relationships are like vitamins to the soul. They help us connect, laugh, dream and grow. Make time for friendship and fellowship.
The firmest of friendships have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame.
Plenty of friendships are sustainable through dinners and lunches, but will not stand a week away. So be careful with whom you go on holiday.
Friendship isn't about becoming somebody else perfect person. It is about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.
All careers go up and down like friendships, like marriages, like anything else, and you can't bat a thousand all the time.
