Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
Friends are like melons; shall I tell you why? To find one good you must one hundred try.
Mermet, Claude

2.
Never, my dear Sir, do you take it into your head that I do not love you; you may settle yourself in full confidence both of my love and my esteem; I love you as a kind man, I value you as a worthy man, and hope in time to reverence you as a man of exemplary piety.
Johnson, Samuel

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Friendship is to have the latchkey of another's mind.
Godospeed, Edgar

6.
Who ceases to be a friend never was one.
Proverb, Greek

7.
What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.
Cicero, Marcus T.

8.
Build bridges instead of walls and you will have a friend.

9.
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Santayana, George

The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

14.
A friend you have to buy won't be worth what you pay for him.
Prentice, George D.

15.
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

16.
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer

17.
A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
Buddha

18.
The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

19.
He whose hand is clasped in friendship cannot throw mud.

20.
The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De

21.
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
La Fontaine, Jean De

Friendship is a comforting smile, A familiar voice that warms the heart, and the freedom to be the person God intended.

23.
The ideal friendship is to feel as one while remaining two.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie

24.
The book is closed, the year is done, The pages full of tasks begun. A little joy, a little care, Along with dreams, are written there. This new day brings another year, Renewing hope, dispelling fear. And we may find before the end, A deep content, another friend.
Ward, Arch

25.
A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gal. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.
Lincoln, Abraham

26.
The glory of friendship is not in the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is in the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
Join the company of lions rather than assume the lead among foxes.
Talmud, The

28.
Friendship is a very simple word, very commonly used. The word friend is almost used on a daily basis. Yet, the depth and meaning of friendship certainly go beyond the simple and the common. Throughout history friendship has been a favorite theme for many writers. The following passages highlight what others have said about friendship in the past.
Riera, Dorothy

29.
An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretended friend is worse.
Gay, John

30.
Never exaggerate your faults, your friends will attend to that.
Edwards, Robert C.

31.
Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold.

32.
Friendship is genuine when two friends can enjoy each others company without speaking a word to one another.
Ebers, George

33.
You may poke a man's fire after you've known him for seven years.
Proverb, English

34.
Friendship's the privilege of private men; for wretched greatness knows no blessing so substantial.
Tate, Nahum

35.
The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away.
Mizner, Wilson

36.
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

37.
Man strives for glory, honor, fame, so that all the world may know his name. Amasses wealth by brain and hand. Becomes a power in the land. But when he nears the end of life and looks back over the years of strife. He finds that happiness depends on none of these but love of friends.

38.
No young man starting in life could have better capital than plenty of friends. They will strengthen his credit, support him in every great effort, and make him what, unaided, he could never be. Friends of the right sort will help him more -- to be happy and successful -- than much money...
Marden, Orison Swett

39.
Give me work to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble common sense. At the close of each day Give me a book And a friend with whom I can be silent.
Frazier, S. M.

40.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Gracian, Baltasar

We die as often as we lose a friend.
Syrus, Publilius

44.
There is no friend as loyal as a book
Hemingway, Ernest

45.
You can't eat your friends and have them too.
Schulberg, Budd

46.
What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

47.
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

48.
In comradeship is danger countered best.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

49.
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

Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.
Capote, Truman
