One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Before I was really passive all I cared about was being in love with my boyfriend. I didn't have any creative power nothing. I don't know that person any more.

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends that's the good stuff in life.

I appreciate the 'Surreal Life.' I had a really positive experience on that show and with those people. I found some love in my heart for religion again and had the support of a new family of friends. I wouldn't have had the pleasure of meeting those people if we were not all placed in that fishbowl.

The Games are just a nice positive way to build friendships camaraderie and of course self-esteem. Plus the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't.

I have great friends around me that are positive and I think that's the key to life is making your own path. Set your own rules because there is no set rule there is no set look there is no set anything. You make your own rules in your life. You make your own decisions.

My grandmother always told me you must keep to your old roads and stick to your original friends and just go through smooth be careful and stay positive.

The most positive step is to try to expand the employment base by making it if not economically friendly at least not economically disastrous for studios to take on deficits.

In politics madame you need two things: friends but above all an enemy.

I just worry a lot. I'm a worrier. Michelle and Barack are really dear to me. I mean I love them. And I don't want to see them get hurt. Just the nature of politics is hurtful. So every time they are hurt I get hurt. It's a lot to ask of people and it's a lot to see your friends go through. It's hard not to get emotional.

In politics there are no friends.

I've always said that in politics your enemies can't hurt you but your friends will kill you.

I have a lot of nice Italian winter clothes that make me look like a sophisticated Lebanese professor so my friend Robert and I go around pretending to be experts in Arabic politics. It doesn't work in the summer though. I don't have the right clothes.

To balance China the democracies will need new friends - and India with its fast-growing economy youthful population and democratic politics seems the obvious candidate.

I'll never get out of politics. I have friends in public office. I have things that I want to do. You can't go back in life. I won't go back to the existence I had before of running a political consulting firm and signing up clients and advising campaigns in exactly that way.

If I cry it's about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics - no I don't cry.

I think things changed as a result of a certain perception of our politics. When we went through our zealous self-righteous period it didn't exactly win us any friends.

There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling and waiting for traces of blood to appear in the water.

In politics shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics in religion in philosophy as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.

I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats we will stop telling the truth about them.

I think that is where poetry reading becomes such an individual thing. I mean I have friend who like poets who just don't say anything to me at all I mean they seem to me rather ordinary and pedestrian.

On a summer night it can be lovely to sit around outside with friends after dinner and yes read poetry to each other. Keats and Yeats will never let you down but it's differently exciting to read the work of poets who are still walking around out there.
