Não se pode ir longe na amizade sem se estar disposto a perdoar os pequenos defeitos um ao outro.

Um amigo se faz rapidamente; já a amizade é um fruto que amadurece lentamente.

A amizade mais perfeita e mais durável é somente aquela que contraímos com o nosso interesse.

A amizade e a lealdade residem numa identidade de almas raramente encontrada.

A amizade não se busca, não se sonha, não se deseja; ela exerce-se (é uma virtude).

O negócio pode trazer dinheiro, mas a amizade raramente o faz.

Não há solidão mais triste do que a do homem sem amizades. A falta de amigos faz com que o mundo pareça um deserto.

A verdadeira amizade pode basear-se somente na união de modos de ser semelhantes.

Só existe uma coisa melhor do que fazer novos amigos: conservar os velhos.

Nenhum gesto de amizade, por muito insignificante que seja, é desperdiçado.

Quem cedo e bem aprende, tarde ou nunca esquece. Quem negligencia as manifestações de amizade, acaba por perder esse sentimento.

Cada novo amigo que ganhamos no decorrer da vida aperfeiçoa-nos e enriquece-nos, não tanto pelo que nos dá, mas pelo que nos revela de nós mesmos.

Aquele que tenta reformar o seu próximo não deve cultivar nunca uma grande amizade com ele antes do objetivo ter sido atingido.

A amizade é uma predisposição recíproca que torna dois seres igualmente ciosos da felicidade um do outro.

O amigo é a resposta aos teus desejos. Mas não o procures para matar o tempo! Procura-o sempre para as horas vivas. Porque ele deve preencher a tua necessidade, mas não o teu vazio.

Amizade é quando você encontra uma pessoa que olha na mesma direção que você, compartilha a vida contigo e te respeita como você é!

O silêncio é o espaço que envolve toda a ação e vida em comum. A amizade não precisa de palavras: é a solidão livre da angústia da solidão.

A verdadeira amizade é aquela que nos permite falar, ao amigo, de todos os seus defeitos e de todas as nossas qualidades.

Pode ser que um dia deixemos de nos falar... Mas, enquanto houver amizade, Faremos as pazes de novo.

Quem afasta a amizade da vida parece que arranca o sol do mundo, pois os deuses imortais não nos deram nada melhor nem mais doce.

I never had any film training. I went to Northwestern. I studied education and theater. So it was all theater training.

You don't make solo albums to have hits.

I'm always tan and blonde and don't really fit into New York. I'm a California girl, even if I try and cover it up with leather.

Chicanos and running water are endlessly fascinating. I can watch them all day.

The most inefficient and self harming thing a person can do is go out looking for love. Let it find you when the time is right and youre out doing what you love to do. Only then will you find it in its truest form.

Of course, it is always nice to poll well, but if you don't get representatives elected, then what is the point?

I don't like talking to horses because they are naysayers

I don't have a lot of shame. That doesn't mean I can't feel bad about the way someone reacts to me or about something I read about myself online. But I don't have a lot of guilt, no. I've always been this way. I'm missing a chip.

In a portrait, you always leave part of yourself behind.

To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all - but to believe in the unseen is a triumph and a blessing.

I'll bet Shakespeare compromised himself a lot; anybody who's in the entertainment industry does to some extent.

Obama doesn't run around wearing a Carrie Bradshaw-esque nameplate necklace that says 'Socialist.' But his policies, actions, words, background and associations speak louder than any ID necklace ever could.

He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still.

It was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique.

I have a huge promotion: you've heard from me on 'Vantage Point' and also with 'Cyrano Fernandez' - that is a Venezuelan movie that I star in and co-produced, and it's based on the romance of Cyrano de Bergerac. And it's set in a Venezuelan slum. It's a free version of the French play.

Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever and well meet now and then when we wish in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.

The bigger you build the bonfire the more darkness is revealed.

I wanted to help women and their families.

I love yoga because not only is it a workout for your body, but also your breathing, which helps release a lot of stress. It really prepares you for the day.

I believe in my privacy. I always have, and I always will. I don't think that my private life needs to be on display for me to get a better response at the box office or for me to get a better choice of movies.

We focus upon pairs of words very often which are the same in some areas and different in other areas.

People will accomplish anything if they believe the goal is worth it - they are worth it and that they are capable of achieving it - and that's exactly what my 'Maximize Your Life' show will do.

Leaders lead but in the end it's the people who deliver.

I could have spent eight years doing anything, and at some level, it would have been fine. I could have focused on flowers. I could have focused on decor. I could have focused on entertainment. Because any First Lady, rightfully, gets to define her role. There's no legislative authority; you're not elected. And that's a wonderful gift of freedom.
