One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.

Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy, they're fun, they do things together, they're best friends. Kids learn by example. If I respect Mom, they're going to respect Mom.

There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.

The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses.
