Try to find like-minded people. Don't choose your friends based on the outside, choose your friends based on your similar views or something that you can learn from.
Choose your friends wisely, and also choose friends that you can trust.
If you're going to choose your friends, you better choose them well, because when you look at your friends, you're looking at a mirror reflection. You're looking at you; you are looking at you.
My best advice for writers is: Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly - all these make for great stories.
It's not that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but it's your best friends who are your diamonds. It's your best friends who are supremely resilient, made under pressure and of astonishing value. They're everlasting; they can cut glass if they need to.
My best friends from high school are, to this day, my best, best friends on this planet. They know who you are with your family, they know who you are with your friends, they know who you are at school. They see every side for you and have for so many years because you've grown together.
You can choose your friends but you sho' can't choose your family, an' they're still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge 'em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you don't.
Choose good friends. Friends help to determine your future. You will tend to be like them and to be found where they choose to go. Remember, the path we follow in this life leads to the path we follow in the next.
As a woman, you accept the situation, adapt to it, and do your best, whereas men would choose violence.
Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable giving your two best friends a key to your house. If not, look for some new best friends.
Choose your friends carefully. Your enemies will choose you.
Choose your friends carefully. It is they who will lead you in one direction or the other. Everybody wants friends. Everybody needs friends. No one wishes to be without them. But never lose sight of the fact that it is your friends who will lead you along the paths that you will follow.
Choose your friends carefully, for you will tend to be like them and be found where they choose to go.
Life as a performance is just a way to look at life choices as character choices. Every morning you choose what to wear, you choose how to wear your hair, you choose your friends, you more or less choose your profession, and how hard you will work at it. Those are all things that an actor decides about his character when he is performing, and they are things that we decide in life. We create our "character."
Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
You can choose your friends, but you sho' can't choose your family.
