So long as you are secure you will count many friends; if your life becomes clouded you will be alone.

Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you’re choosing someone out of love or loneliness.

I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.

If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.

No man is born unto himself alone; who lives unto himself, he lives to none.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

I lay it down as a fact that if all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.

Plato is my friend; Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.

A friend is as it were a second self.
