The people that are my friends and are easy to get along with, they make me feel like I'm a boss at loving people.

Family life is the backbone of mankind, and that life is dependent upon mutual giving, sharing, and receiving from each other. It entails the proper use of each other's successes and failures for mutual up-building.

My family and friends were definitely the key to my recovery. One thing that I do suggest is that anyone dealing with a life-threatening illness like cancer choose a point person for people to call to find out how you are doing - a sister, brother, mother, father, daughter, son, or close friend.

I've always been a slow starter. My first date was with a girl called Cessi. We had a beautiful relationship over the phone all summer, and then when we met, I couldn't look her in the eye.

When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work, but the solidest things we can know.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed. When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work but the solidest things we know.

I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.

Better be a nettle in the side of your friend than his echo.

The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one.

Keep your friendships in repair.

My friends have come to me unsought. The great God gave them to me.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.
