Friends and friendship

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.
- Aristotle
Friends and friendship Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
Your notions of friendship are new to me; I believe every man is born with his quantum, and he cannot give to one without robbing another. I very well know to whom I would give the first place in my friendship, but they are not in the way, I am condemned to another scene, and therefore I distribute it in pennyworths to those about me, and who displease me least, and should do the same to my fellow prisoners if I were condemned to a jail.
Swift, Jonathan

2.
However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
Hoffer, Eric

3.
Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
Pepys, Samuel

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
Woolf, Virginia

A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.
Cummings, Fr. Jerome

Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
O'Malley, Austin

A home-made friend wears longer than one you buy in the market.
O'Malley, Austin

9.
Often we have no time for our friends but all the time in the world for our enemies.
Uris, Leon

As the yellow gold is tried in fire, so the faith of friendship must be seen in adversity.
Ovid

11.
Since it has been my lot to find, at every parting of the road, the helping hand of comrade kind to help me with my heavy load, And since I have no gold to give and love alone must make amends, my humble prayer is, while I live -- God, make me worthy of my friends.

12.
Between friends differences in taste or opinion are irritating in direct proportion to their triviality.
Auden, W. H.

13.
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
Disraeli, Benjamin

14.
Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
Watson, Thomas J.

A friend is someone who doesn't like the same people you do.
Proverb

16.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
Butler, Samuel

17.
Join the company of lions rather than assume the lead among foxes.
Talmud, The

Gabirol, Ibn

Bacon, Francis

Lee, Robert E.

Who ceases to be a friend never was one.
Proverb, Greek

Godospeed, Edgar

26.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
Walton, Izaak

27.
We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.
Epicurus

28.
He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.
Joubert, Joseph

29.
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend.
Camus, Albert

30.
There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please --that is, as they please or displease us.
Hazlitt, William

31.
Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.
Owens, Jesse

A friend you have to buy; enemies you get for nothing.
Proverb, Jewish

34.
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

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.
Aristotle

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, And say my glory was I had such friends.
Yeats, William Butler

Friendship is to be purchased only by friendship. A man may have authority over others, but he can never have their hearts but by giving his own.
Wilson, Thomas

39.
To keep a new friend, never break with the old.
Proverb, Russian
