It may be a cold, clammy thing to say, but those that treat friendship the same as any other selfishness seem to get the most out of it.

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

The little trouble in the world that is not due to love is due to friendship.

Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom; wait until they have been married longer.

A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country.

One of the surprising things in this world is the respect a worthless man has for himself.

Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.

When people hear good music, it makes them homesick for something they never had, and never will have.

There is always a type of man who says he loves his fellow men, and expects to make a living at it.

Men have as exaggerated an idea of their rights as women have of their wrongs.

When a man has no reason to trust himself, he trusts in luck.

To be an ideal guest, stay at home.

The worst feeling in the world is the homesickness that comes over a man occasionally when he is at home.
