God gives us relatives; thank God, we can choose our friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The friends we have, these are choices that - unlike family, which we have no choice in, and I love my family, thank God - we've given ourselves, to some degree.
Friends are the siblings God never gave us.
My friends are my family.
Friendships are the family we make - not the one we inherit. I've always been someone to whom friendship, elective affinities, is as important as family.
My family are my friends.
We're all a big hippie family so I got five sisters and a bunch of different mothers. Not really, but my sisters' mothers are all good friends with my mother. We're a big family, 25 people.
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
I don't mind having these relatives. I'll give them a little, since they all prayed for my victory.
Parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles are made more powerful guides and rescuers by the bonds of love that are the very nature of a family.
Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.
