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

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.

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.

There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.

I'm the type to over-analyze everything. If I was to rob a house, I'd have a checklist to make sure nothing goes wrong.

I would definitely trade clothes with Lucy Hale. Her fashion sense is right on point, and I feel like she's never afraid to take risks with her clothes.

I've realized that I can't multitask in the writing department; I can only kind of do one thing at a time.

The Christmas tree twinkling with lights had a mountain of gifts piled up beneath it like offerings to the great god of excess.

It's interesting to me; you do four, five or six of these Comic Cons or things like that across the country a year. Obviously, I get busted a lot of 'Weekend at Bernies,' but the fans for horror movies are so wonderful and so loyal.

Conscience the organ of feeling which dominates us and of the opinions which rule us is presumptuous in the strong timid in the weak and unfortunate uneasy in the undecided.

When I was engaged in the struggle for my country, I was very young. My horizons were open.

In today's U.S., it's possible for almost anyone - women, gays, African-Americans, Jews - to run for, and be elected to, high office.

When I was a playwright earlier in my career - my senior project in high school was my first produced play - I used to put on the title page: 'A tragedy with laughs.'

First your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life.

Finally, I found a program that's put my troubles behind me.

Bitcoin will do to banks what email did to the postal industry.

So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce.

I think long and hard about what it is I'm actually trying to do, and then I kind of have to narrow my focus into that. If I don't, I'm too all over the place.

Americans of all political background overwhelmingly support term limits, yet term limits have floundered in Congress.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, 'Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.' I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.

People always make the mistake of calling an idea small or stupid because they don't understand how it's going to evolve.

Stalinism is linked with a cult of personality and massive violations of the law, with repression and camps. There is nothing like that in Russia and, I hope, will never again be.

I think the biggest problem working with me would be that I'm an only child, and so I have an internal dialogue that goes on that I just assume you can hear.

Every time you work, you have to do it all over again, to rid yourself of this dross. I suppose for a person who is not an artist or not attempting art, it is not dross, because it is the common exchange of everyday life.

I don't stand in anybody else's way of accomplishing their dreams, and I don't like people standing in my way, either. That seems like a hostile thing to do.

When it comes to the form the narrative will take, whether first person, third person, or Aunt Grace's cat, I usually find that the story tells me which voice it prefers, and that often changes as I go along. And in the end it really doesn't matter as long as the author can rig those voices all in harness to pull the same load.

I lived in South America when I was growing up. I spent hours sketching. I was good at drawing, and I was obsessed with fashion, but I was also obsessed with magazines.
