"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love." ― Jane Austen Topic(s): Friendship More From Jane Austen "Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance." "We do not look in our great cities for our best morality." "Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody." More In Friendship "Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life."― James F. Byrnes "The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there’s no ball, there’s no game. Bullies hate that. So they’ll either behave so they can play with you or they’ll go bully someone else."― Seth Godin "No one person can possibly combine all the elements supposed to make up what everyone means by friendship."― Francis Marion Crawford
