A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Best friend: someone you can only stay mad at for so long because you have important things to talk about.

I was talking to my publisher, Jamie Ceretta, who's one of my closest confidants and allies when I'm working on new music. I feel like I can always count on his judgement because he'll tell me if he doesn't like something. It's sometimes hard to get people to tell you if they don't like something.

Some of the choicest blessings of my life have been the close friendships I have experienced over the years. Often, these friendships have been forged in the fires of shared experience.

People either weigh you down or give you wings.

Even though men and women are different in our thinking, we all share the need and desire for compassion, compliments, and companionship.

No one is much pleased with a companion who does not increase, in some respect, their fondness for themselves.

If you have a happy friend, your happiness goes up fifteen times.

A real friend is one who helps us to think our best thoughts, do our noblest deeds, and be our finest selves.

Tribes must be our homes, not our prisons.

Side by side is most suitable for helping.

Once we pray with or for someone, we are in the ongoing story of his life, and it is an honor to be there.
