Como as plantas, a amizade não deve ser muito nem pouco regada.

A amizade é um amor que nunca morre.

Para conseguir a amizade de uma pessoa digna é preciso desenvolvermos em nós mesmos as qualidades que naquela admiramos.

A amizade desenvolve a felicidade e reduz o sofrimento, duplicando a nossa alegria e dividindo a nossa dor.

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

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

A amizade é um meio de nos isolarmos da humanidade cultivando algumas pessoas.

A amizade duplica as alegrias e divide as tristezas.

A melhor maneira de começar uma amizade é com uma boa gargalhada. De terminar com ela, também.

Não é amigo aquele que alardeia a amizade: é traficante; a amizade sente-se, não se diz...

A amizade é o conforto indescritível de nos sentirmos seguros com uma pessoa, sem ser preciso pesar o que se pensa, nem medir o que se diz.

Quando defendemos os nossos amigos, justificamos a nossa amizade.

O amor pode morrer na verdade, a amizade na mentira.

A amizade é, acima de tudo, certeza – é isso que a distingue do amor.

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

A amizade é semelhante a um bom café; uma vez frio, não se aquece sem perder bastante do primeiro sabor.

A felicidade de um amigo deleita-nos. Enriquece-nos. Não nos tira nada. Caso a amizade sofra com isso, é porque não existe.

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

As palavras de amizade e conforto podem ser curtas e sucintas, mas o seu eco é infindável.

A glória da amizade não é a mão estendida, nem o sorriso carinhoso, nem mesmo a delícia da companhia. É a inspiração espiritual que vem quando você descobre que alguém acredita e confia em você.

Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.

I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.

People do look at it as an insult that I say I don't listen to country music, which cracks me up.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.

My husband, Sal, and I put date nights on the calendar once a week. I know that doesn't sound romantic, but otherwise it won't get done.

I tend to like very bitchy women. I find myself most attracted to smart, sarcastic, bitchy women.

It seems to me monstrous that anyone should believe that the jazz rhythm expresses America. Jazz rhythm expresses the primitive savage.

For years after 'The Last Waltz,' I got all kinds of silly movie offers - or, maybe, not silly, but parts that are not my calling... lots of offers to play some wonderful boyfriend.

The first songs I learned was 'Crazy' by Patsy Cline and 'At Last' by Etta James. I had been growing up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, great bands.

Sudheer Varma is very easy going and very confident director. He knows exactly what he wants. He has a very good vision and knows how many shots he wants for a scene. He is super fast. He gives freedom for actors to try different things. The atmosphere on the sets was never serious. We had great fun working together.

You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.

Our Savior gave Himself in unselfish service. He taught that each of us should follow Him by denying ourselves of selfish interests in order to serve others.

New Yorkers may think they're on some cutting edge, but that's not especially true. It is, however, the most exciting heterogeneous mess of a town I've ever seen.

Clinton is the first female to be taken seriously for the highest office in the land. She has the credentials, the stamina and she is a good campaigner. Her detractors in both parties like to say she can't win, but they may be proven wrong.

There's a lot more to me than just funny.

I believe in a kind of God. I think all scientists, in a way, believe in a certain God, in a certain order of nature.

I would have strong opinions and be prepared to argue my case, but if you talk to my colleagues, I think you'd find they consider me the jokester, the informal mayor of the West Wing.

Dealing with immigration should originate in Congress. The president should not act unilaterally.

I have been a lifelong stutterer, and when I was young, I experienced some very difficult times.

Each generation looks to its children to keep our society moving and to make life better.

I think Serena Williams is the best tennis player of this generation, if not the best ever. It is amazing for her to be playing as well as she is at the age of 31.

It's basically taking a 911 call, bringing them on stage and dealing with it just like when I was a Chicago policeman for 12 years. I personally become involved. Where Jerry lets people tell their story and lets everything happen on stage, I kind of go after the bad guy and protect the little guy.

The Planck satellite may detect the imprint of the gravitational waves predicted by inflation. This would be quantum gravity written across the sky.
