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

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

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

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.

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 think it's important for comedians to do our little part. I don't do it carelessly. I do it thoughtfully. I don't try to just shock. I try to make a statement.

Usually, if you have a new idea, you very rarely break through to anything like recognizable development or implementation of that idea the first time around - it takes two or three goes for the research community to return to the topic.

In an ideal world, we would charge people a $10,000 success fee when they get married or a $5,000 success fee if they enter into a relationship with someone. Unfortunately, that's a little bit hard to track, although someday maybe we'll get around to that.

Well, human security is a concept that I am very committed to enshrining in American foreign policy.

Never base your destiny on things you cannot control and have no power to change.

Eventually I became involved with somebody, and I was fired.

I really like 'Passion of the Christ.' I like that movie. I also like 'We Were Soldiers,' and 'Braveheart.' And 'Napoleon Dynamite' - that movie was funny.

I've never had issues with popularity. I was always a popular guy... I've always had friends and loved ones and everything, so it wasn't like, 'Oh man, I gotta fill some void that was left by high school.' I had a great high-school experience.

Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country.

My daughter loves to cook. At first, I found myself making her be really neat and precise. Then I realized it's OK if things get all over the floor and counters and ceiling. We're making memories.

I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.

Players shy away from talking to announcers today.

When you grow up middle class, you just always feel like you've got to be working, or you won't be able to pay the bills.

Obama has been attacked repeatedly for not wearing a flag pin, with Republicans claiming that his patriotism is in question. It's all a bit silly.

Our true destiny...is a world built from the bottom up by competent citizens living in solid communities engaged in and by their places.

And I'd be lying if I told you that as a black man in baseball I hadn't gone through worse times than my teammates.

Twitter should ban my mother.

I really wanted to be a mom. I didn't want my kids to be raised by a nanny, which would have been the case if I were working two movies in a year, you know? And I would have been hospitalized with fatigue.

Im a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die its a major offence.

All company bosses want a policy on corporate social responsibility. The positive effect is hard to quantify, but the negative consequences of a disaster are enormous.

When migraines briefly became a campaign issue for me, it appeared that political foes were maybe playing the gender card.

Of course we've been fighting against stereotypes from Day One at East West. That's the reason we formed: to combat that, and to show we are capable of more than just fulfilling the stereotypes - waiter, laundryman, gardener, martial artist, villain.

My family often travels to New York City during the holidays, and that's always a good time.

It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies but even more to stand up to your friends.
