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.

The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne.

We cannot live being obsessed with what other people think about us. It’s impossible to live like that. Not even God managed to please the entire world.

Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.

Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.

The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and fighting terror – and America is honored to be their friend.

Even an animal, if you show genuine affection, gradually trust develops… If you always showing bad face and beating, how can you develop friendship?

When you’re a little kid, you don’t see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.

Perfect friendship is the friendship of men who are good, and alike in excellence; for these wish well alike to each other qua good, and they are good in themselves.

My aim is to create a happy society with genuine friendship. Friendship between Tibetan and Chinese peoples is very essential.

Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.

Sometimes I’ve been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.

There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

I love people talking about me; I love anybody just looking at me.

I’m ugly.

I got a fancy reputation. During high school, every puzzle that was known to man must have come to me. Every damn, crazy conundrum that people had invented, I knew.

I die adoring God, loving my friends, not hating my enemies, and detesting superstition.

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

I have a family, loving aunts, and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything except my one true friend. All I think about when I’m with friends is having a good time. I can’t bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don’t seem to be able to get any closer, and that’s the problem.

As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.

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!

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

The less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.

Before I started school striking I had no energy, no friends and I didn’t speak to anyone. I just sat alone at home, with an eating disorder. All of that is gone now, since I have found a meaning, in a world that sometimes seems shallow and meaningless to so many people.

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.

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.

A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines.

Often people become our friend or follower with an undercurrent of resentment in our having more success than they have. They secretly desire the opportunity to take us down a notch; they have a nose for any misstep on our part they can exploit.

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.

Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.

No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.

Our vanity is hardest to wound precisely when our pride has just been wounded.

June Jordan, who died of cancer in 2002, was a brilliant, fierce, radical, and frequently furious poet. We were friends for thirty years. Not once in that time did she step back from what was transpiring politically and morally in the world. She spoke up, and led her students, whom she adored, to do the same.

My friends are people who like building cool stuff. We always have this joke about people who want to just start companies without making something valuable. There’s a lot of that in Silicon Valley.

It’s hard to be humble, when you’re as great as I am.

I worked with someone who told me they’d never like me. But for some reason, I just felt like I needed her approval. So I started changing myself to please her. It made me stop being social and friendly. I was so unhappy.

I’m not the most attractive fella. I’m not a Billy Dee Williams. Personality is everything.
