The art of civil conversation begins at birth. Then goes from the dinner table to the schoolroom, to interaction among friends, to the work place, and on to other places where all manner of social...

Good Friends Don’t Let You Do Stupid Things.. Alone

The best friends are those you can argue with but love anyway.

It’s not about saying your sorry, or expecting me to forgive you. It’s about showing love and respect to the people in your life each day you get to breathe. It’s about taking responsibility for...

Well, you don’t get to do things that other children get to do, having friends and slumber parties and buddies. There were none of that for me. I didn’t have friends when I was little....

My normal friends loved having a token author. Just like every WoW raiding party needs at least one healer, every gaggle needs at least one artist. They enjoyed introducing me to people at bars. “This...

A real friend is one with whom you can be silent.

My schedule can be hectic, so I’m always trying to find time to see my friends and family.

Friends can come and go, but banners hang forever.

The best place to live is that one where your friends are.

A friend may be nature’s most magnificent creation.

Every friend we have represents a new world, a world that may not have existed had they not come into our life.

Watch your dreams and watch our friends. Take time and watch your friend again with sharpened eyes. Turn on your dreams again; watch them again; then watch your friends once more and know who to...

I see ridiculous stories about my butt, like how it has been insured. I feel like saying, “Hey, everyone has a butt. It’s not that big a deal!” But I suppose it’s flattering. Personally, I’ve...

Teen “addiction” to social media is a new extension of typical human engagement. Their use of social media as their primary site of sociality is most often a byproduct of cultural dynamics that have nothing...

Stop inviting people who don’t celebrate you to your party! It’s YOUR life – you have the right to be exclusive.

It’s sad when friends become enemies. But what’s even worse is when they become strangers.

But friendship meant you at least planted the seed for them, love meant allowing them the ability to weed their own garden until it was something healthy and thriving, blooming and bright and smelling of...

They don’t sell friends in stores….

There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed,...

15 years later, it’s all the TV stars with the film deals, whether it’s the cast of Friends or That ’70s Show now with Ashton and other people doing stuff.

No matter how much we love our family and friends, a part of us needs the occasional moment of solitude as a plant needs water. It is the inmost core of each of us that,...

I was kind of the black sheep with the Disney kids. I was uninterested in making friends with most of them. I didn’t really fall into ‘the Disney mold.’ I was more or less the...

A dog is a good friend of a man and perhaps better than many of his best friends.

I studied in Britain and spent great moments of my life there as a student living in Belsize Park. I admire the British trait of the stiff upper lip in the face of adversity. My...

No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues, as disease is far more contagious than health.

Take a moment think who would actually miss you if you deactivate all your social networking accounts, whatsapp, BBM etc

Reading a book is a silent conversation between two friends.

Even though everybody hates you, you’ll always have a friend who protects you and wishes to uplift you from pain, misery and suffering and that will always turn and remain the hardest blow to those...

Aaah, summer – that long anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It’s a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and...

It’s so curious: one can resist tears and ‘behave’ very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that...

Ah, Harry, how often this happens, even between the best of friends! Each of us believes that what he has to say is much more important than anything the other might have to contribute!

Handy Hint! When your friend talks about having ‘a sweep’, do not then visualise Dick van Dyke in his cheeky chappy chimney sweeper outfit heading up into her uterus to do a rendition of ‘Step...

When I arrived back at Intro to Basic Art again later that week, I thought for a moment we had a new student who didn’t know about the assigned seats. Sitting at my table was...

I think it is possible to be friends even if you’re competing. You know, there’s so many guys in rooms that try to psych each other out, and it doesn’t work. It only hinders their...

Every gathering has its moment. As an adult, I distract myself by trying to identify it, dreading the inevitable downswing that is sure to follow. The guests will repeat themselves one too many times, or...

Love yourself as you love your neighbour. If you love your neighbour with a heavy heart, love yourself too with a heavy heart.

I usually only play with very close friends.

I just go wherever work brings me. I share a house with friends in L.A., and I share a house with friends in Montreal when I’m there.

Though I have friends aplenty in academia, I don’t operate within the academic system myself.

Anything that you can become obsessed with, and you do so much that you don’t do the things you need to do with family, friends, school, job – that can be an addiction. And texting...

I love having my hair blown dry by a stylist and I also truly enjoy being with my friends and family.

Acting goes back a little ways for me. I supposed I started with theater growing up. It was mainly a social outlet and it was just kind of something I did for fun. I met...

Being weird adds spice to life. Having weird friends just deepens the flavor

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life

Yes, I’m a ‘Twi-hard.’ I became obsessed. Absolutely obsessed. I didn’t watch television, I didn’t go to the cinema. My friends would ring and say: ‘What are you doing?’ And I would say: ‘I’ve just...

One of my mother’s friends said to me, ‘Your ex-boyfriends didn’t stand a chance with you and your mother.’ And I think I probably was unfair to them because she was the first person and...

Make life about more than just you. Take the world around you and transform it for the sake of others. Do a good deed for your neighbor; smile at strangers; volunteer for a bigger purpose...

It is necessary, and even vital, to set standards for your life and the people you allow in it.

Everybody I knew, practically, was a journalist when I was a kid – my father, all of his friends. I never wanted to be like those people.
