Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
Proverb, Sicilian
A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure.
Bible
Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
There is a scarcity of friendship, but not of friends.
Fuller, Thomas
Hopes are planted in friendship's garden where dreams blossom into priceless treasures.
Build bridges instead of walls and you will have a friend.
However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Friendship should be a private pleasure, not a public boast. I loathe those braggarts who are forever trying to invest themselves with importance by calling important people by their first names in or out of print. Such first-naming for effect makes me cringe.
Brown, John Mason
Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or to keep one.
Lee, Robert E.
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van
Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
To myself, personally, it brings nothing but increasing drudgery and daily loss of friends.
Jefferson, Thomas
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.Before him, I may think aloud.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Friends are needed both for joy and for sorrow.
Paterson, Samuel
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins. Love between a man and a woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self-seeking. But to have a friend and to be true under any and all trials is the mark of a man!
Eastman, Charles Alexander
There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Franklin, Benjamin
... I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.
Fairbanks, Douglas
Ones oldest friend is the best.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Many a time from a bad beginning great friendships have sprung up.
Terence
A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.
Darwin, Charles R.
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Friendship is an arrangement by which we undertake to exchange small favors for big ones.
Montesquieu, Charles De
If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find they're very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.
Ziglar, Zig
Who ceases to be a friend never was one.
Proverb, Greek
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its grieves and anxieties.
Cicero, Marcus T.
The miracle of friendship can be spoken without words... hearing unspoken needs, recognizing secret dreams, understanding the silent things that only true friend know.
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.
Aretino, Pietro
Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
Strindberg, J. August
That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
Quarles, Francis
We will win the world when we realize that fellowship, not evangelism, must be our primary emphasis. When we demonstrate the Big Miracle of Love, it won't be necessary for us to go out -- they will come in.
Moody, Jess
A Friend is a treasure. More precious than Gold, For love shared is priceless And never grows old.
One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
Pepys, Samuel
I don't like that man. I'm going to have to get to know him better.
Lincoln, Abraham
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another. -
Budgell, Eustace
Friendship is genuine when two friends can enjoy each others company without speaking a word to one another.
Ebers, George
A friend is one who incessantly pays us the compliment of expecting from us all the virtues, and who can appreciate them in us. The friend asks no return but that his friend will religiously accept and wear and not disgrace his apotheosis of him. They cherish each other's hopes. They are kind to each other's dreams.
Thoreau, Henry David
You have been my friends, replied Charlotte, that in itself is a tremendous thing...
White, Elwyn Brooks
Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Gracian, Baltasar
The difficulty is not that great to die for a friend, the hard part is finding a friend worth dying for.
Home, Henry
Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.
Owens, Jesse
The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.
Addison, Joseph
To let friendship die away by negligence and silence is certainly not wise. It is voluntarily to throw away one of the greatest comforts of the weary pilgrimage.
Johnson, Samuel
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.
Saying, Hasidic
The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest.
La Bruyere, Jean De
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Walker, Alice
Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend. All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.
Crowell, Grace Noll
