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

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.

Time is the only test of honest men, one day is space enough to know a rogue.

Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before, advanced a stage or two upon that road which you must travel in the steps they trod.

My wife is my closest friend. Sure, I’m attracted to her in every way possible, but that’s not the answer. Because I’ve been attracted to other people, and I couldn’t stand ’em after a while.

Don’t be afraid to speak up, because someone will be there for you.

First listen, my friend, and then you may shriek and bluster.

Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies.

Now on Friday nights, if I want to go hang out with friends, I go hang out with friends. If I want to stay in and be in the hot tub and have people over to watch movies, I do that.

Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness.

Of all possessions a friend is the most precious.
