I am not looking for a friend; if I want a friend I'd buy a dog.

If you want a friend, buy a dog.

They tell you in Washington that if you want a friend, get a dog. That is not true. Get a family. This is a hard place to be.

Merrick Garland

If you want a friend, you don't buy a friend, Eric, you earn a friend through love and trust and respect.

Richard Pryor

No man can be condemned for owning a dog. As long as he has a dog, he has a friend; and the poorer he gets, the better friend he has.

Will Rogers

A dog is adorable and noble, a dog is a true and loving friend. A dog is also a hedonist.

Mary Oliver

Everywhere I travel around my home state of Wyoming - but also around the country - I continue to hear, 'How can Washington make us buy something we don't want to buy, a product? They can't tell us to buy breakfast cereal or something else - how can they do that?'

John Barrasso

If you want sex, have an affair. If you want a relationship, buy a dog.

Julie Burchill

They say that dog is man's best friend, and I think it's true. My dog does a lot of the same stuff my best friend does, like drool on my couch, mooch my food and hump my wife.

Brad Wilkerson

At this young age I am already sold on the idea of the dog. One of God's absolutely greatest inventions and one that needs no more tinkering. The dog is the perfect beast, companion, friend, shoulder to lean on, and scapegoat when too many cookies are missing. And a dog won't hold that against you, either. I am at peace sitting in silence with a dog.

Rick Springfield

I didn't have any role models really. My best friend was a dog. My mum and dad saved a dog from the gutter and that dog was my brother before Jesse was born. Sami was his name and he was my role model.

Ville Valo

Money is not the most important thing, but when you need it, there are few substitutes. So while I like the things money can buy, I love what money won't buy. It bought me a house but it won't buy me a home. It would buy me a companion but it won't buy me a friend.
