Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

Show me a friend in need and I'll show you a pest.

Lewis, Joe E.

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.

All things being equal, people will do business with a friend; all things being unequal, people will still do business with a friend.

Mccormack, Mark

Friendship is a precious gift. To give at Christmas time. A Cherished gift, a treasured gift that lasts through all time.

A friend walks in when everyone else walks out

A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

Craik, Dinah Maria Mulock

To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel. Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.

Thoreau, Henry David

Swetchine, Anne Sophie

Old friends are the great blessings of one's later years. Half a word conveys one's meaning. They have a memory of the same events, have the same mode of thinking. I have young relations that may grow upon me, for my nature is affectionate, but can they grow [To Be] old friends?

Walpole, Horace

No one is rich enough to do without a neighbor.

Proverb, Danish

Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.

Wordsworth, William

26.

If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life -- if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.

Scott, Sir Walter

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

O'Malley, Austin

Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness...

Bach, Richard

31.

The difficulty is not that great to die for a friend, the hard part is finding a friend worth dying for.

Home, Henry

It is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that proves them.

Proverb

33.

Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel that you've done a permanent job.

Randall, Erwin T.

34.

Often, I look out the window and wait. I see her as she comes and goes, to visit with everyone-it seems but me. I know that sometimes I'm not as friendly as I should be. But I'm scared- that people won't like me. So I hide in my shell. And talk to know one. But still... I wish they would notice that I am here. I need them. Please, somebody talk to me. I need a friend.

35.

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

Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.

Richter, Jean Paul

37.

Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

Gibran, Kahlil

38.

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

39.

Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. 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

40.

Friends are like fiddle strings, they must not be screwed too tight.

Proverb, English

41.

There are persons who cannot make friends. Who are they? Those who cannot be friends. It is not the want of understanding or good nature, of entertaining or useful qualities, that you complain of: on the contrary, they have probably many points of attraction; but they have one that neutralizes all these --they care nothing about you, and are neither the better nor worse for what you think of them. They manifest no joy at your approach; and when you leave them, it is with a feeling that they can do just as well without you. This is not sullenness, nor indifference, nor absence of mind; but they are intent solely on their own thoughts, and you are merely one of the subjects they exercise them upon. They live in society as in a solitude.

Hazlitt, William

42.

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

Cummings, Fr. Jerome

43.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Brookner, Anita

44.

Win new friends but keep the old. The first are silver; the latter gold.

45.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Thoreau, Henry David
