“I cannot love a friend whose love is words.”

Without labor nothing prospers.

Despair often breeds disease.

Fortune never helps the fainthearted.

It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.

Go then if you must, but remember, no matter how foolish your deeds, those who love you will love you still.

Each say following another, either hastening or putting off our death–what pleasure does it bring? I count that man worthless whois cheered by empty hopes. No, a noble man must either live or die well.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

Fortune is not on the side of the faint-hearted.

If we always helped one another, no one would need luck.

Love, you mock us for your sport.

Kindness begets kindness evermore.

Kindness gives birth to kindness.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

Opportunity is the best captain of all endeavor.

Not knowing anything is the sweetest life.

If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.

My soul has painted like the wings of butterflies, Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die, I can fly, my friends

I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it’s like, she didn’t care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.

It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend, one’s present or future thirst, the excellence of the cognac, or any other reason.

I have many, many old friends, and I always think that it`s important, when you get into politics, to have friends you had before you were in politics and to understand what`s on their minds.

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die, I can fly, my friends.

Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my Dear Laurens, it might be in my power, by action rather than words, to convince you that I love you.

Love will enter cloaked in friendship’s name.

Whenever you have an ex, and they’re like, ‘I hope we can still be friends!’ and you weren’t friends before you started dating, then what do you go back to, really?
