"Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a..." - Quote by Honore De Balzac

“Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.”

“A husband and wife who have separate bedrooms have either drifted apart or found happiness.”

“Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true.”

“Just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.”

“The real friend is another self.”

“If there's anything that you want,If there's anything I can do,Just call on me,And I'll send it along with love from me to you.”

“There was a house at the foot of the tower, close to the thunder of the waves breaking against the cliffs, where love was more intense because it seemed like a shipwreck.”

“What good is talking if neither of you are really committed? If one of you had an affair or got addicted to drugs or was abusive, simply talking about it wouldn;t take the hurt away; or fix the trust that's been lost. In the end, marriage comes down to actions. I think people talk too much about the things that bother them, instead of actually doing the little things that keep a marriage strong.”

“L'absence diminue les mediocres passions, et augmente les grandes,comme le vent eteint les bougies, et allume le feu. Absence diminishes commonplace passions, and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and kindles fire.”
