An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him.

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.

It’s surprising to me how many of my friends send Christmas cards, or holiday cards, including my atheist and secular friends.

I was always singing but didn’t plan on pursuing it seriously. When I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn – I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point – and that was it.

I wanted a name I could shape the music towards. I was going to Miami quite a lot at the time, speaking a lot of Spanish with my friends from Cuba – ‚Lana Del Rey‘ reminded us of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue.

We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.

I need physics more than friends.

I have a living will and I have friends, and I have money and I have hope.

I’m a decent cook; I’m a decent chef. None of my friends would ever have hired me at any point in my career. Period.

Preparation for a mission is important. A mission is a voluntary act of service to God and humankind. Missionaries support that privilege with their personal savings. Parents, families, friends, and donors to the General Missionary Fund may also assist.

I have a lot of friends who do what I do. Either they’re actresses or singers or things like that.

The people you choose to have around you make all the difference. My family and close friends keep me grounded. You have to have a mind of your own and a strong head on your shoulders. Cricket is the most important thing to me, so the rest of it pales in comparison.

I’m good friends with Jay Leno, good friends with Ed O’Neill, Melanie Fiona and Russell Simmons.

The Four Levels of Comedy: Make your friends laugh, Make strangers laugh, Get paid to make strangers laugh, and Make people talk like you because it’s so much fun.

All that the future holds in store for each sacred child of God will be shaped by his or her parents, family, friends, and teachers. Thus, our faith now becomes part of our posterity’s faith later.

Social media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.

How happy had it been for me had I been slain in the battle. It had been far more noble to have died the victim of the enemy than fall a sacrifice to the rage of my friends.

It is not so much our friends‘ help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.

All of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school – my number one piece of advice is: You should learn how to program.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

I created my MySpace page in eighth grade, because that’s how all my friends talked to each other, so I made one, too. Then, all of a sudden, my friends started putting my songs on their profiles, and then their relatives, their friends in different states did.

I’ve always had lots of friends and my house was the house they all hung out at.

All of my walls are covered with framed pictures of my friends.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

I was very blessed to have family and friends, but particularly family, who told me I was not only all right, I was just right, so I believe that my brain is a good one, and it’s lasting me very well.

What really motivates people at Facebook is building something that’s worthwhile, that they’re going to be proud to show to friends and family.

‚Love Story‘ is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn’t like him. All of them!

People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.

I remember when I was in high school I didn’t have a new dress for each special occasion. The girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. The boys, however, never bothered with the subject. They were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.

Sometimes I write about my own life. And sometimes I write about situations I see my friends going through. Sometimes I write about a scene I saw in a movie. I take inspiration from all different places.

My family is very good about visiting me, and other friends as well.

I like the app where you can make your own memes. I make memes all the time and send them to my friends.

A lot of my heartbreak songs are inspired by things my sisters are going through, or friends.

A sense of duty is useful in work but offensive in personal relations. People wish to be liked, not to be endured with patient resignation.

Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They’re connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now.

For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.

I was always making my friends laugh, but I never wanted the attention of the whole classroom.

I feel only my friends and family need to know what is happening in my personal life.

The only way I hear gossip is if it’s big enough and loud enough for my friends to bring it up to me. Or if it’s, like, a big untrue ordeal from my publicist – and she hates making that phone call!

The kindness that’s been shown to me, by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it’s really saved my life.

Among the friends of Union, there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to slavery and the African race among us.

This character feels so much like my brother. He has two children. He has a wife. He works with me. He chooses to stay in New Hampshire because he wants his kids to grow up in the school they started with. He doesn’t want them to lose friends. He is his family’s hero.

My friends tease me about the fact that if someone seems bad or shady or like they have a secret, I find them incredibly interesting.

Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the Legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman’s dance.

When I’m back in New York – and this is a terrible thing to complain about – I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I’d like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It’s kind of like being in the Mafia.

To this day, some of my closest friends say, ‚Gaga, you know, everything’s great. You’re a singer; your dreams have come true.‘ But, still, when certain things are said to you over and over again as you’re growing up, it stays with you and you wonder if they’re true.

I have good friends who are politicians on both sides.

I have more friends in New York than Paris.
