Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
Pythagoras
In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other's affairs, who come out together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
Connolly, Cyril
Never shall I forget the time I spent with you. Please continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
Friends come and go but enemies accumulate.
Bloch, Arthur
Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world.
Perry, Ralph B.
I can't forgive my friends for dying; I don't find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
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
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
Jerome, St.
Win new friends but keep the old. The first are silver; the latter gold.
To the query, What is a friend? his reply was A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle

Swetchine, Anne Sophie
Strangers are just friends I haven't met yet.
Rogers, Will
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ.
Chambers, Oswald
Instead of loving your enemies -- treat your friends a little better.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Your friendship is a glowing ember Through the year; and each December From its warm and living spark We kindle flame against the dark And with its shining radiance light Our tree of faith on Christmas night.
Lund, Thelma J.
Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things.
Ruskin, John
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
The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Augustine, St.
It can never be bought or borrowed or sold A gift to be cherished, True friendship is a treasure beyond compare.
Friendship is a horizon -- which expands whenever we approach it.
Hazlip, E.R.
Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.
Craik, Dinah Mulock
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Gracian, Baltasar
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.
Larson, Doug
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
True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
Jerome, St.
Thus much for thy assurance know; a hollow friend is but a hellish foe.
Breton, Nicholas
Never exaggerate your faults, your friends will attend to that.
Edwards, Robert C.
Two friendships in two breasts requires The same aversions and desires.
Swift, Jonathan
My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.
Gabirol, Ibn
There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Franklin, Benjamin
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
Leonard, John
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
Hsieh, Tehyi
However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.
Seneca
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Walker, Alice
Friends are proved by adversity.
Cicero, Marcus T.
To keep a new friend, never break with the old.
Proverb, Russian
A good motto is: Use friendliness but do not use your friends.

A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
Shakespeare, William

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
The gift of friendship... a willingness to listen... a pair of helping hands... a whisper from the heart. That someone cares and understands.
I'm treating you as a friend asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future pluses
Mansfield, Katherine
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
To each one of us friendship has a different meaning. For all of us it is a gift. Friendship needs to be cherished and nurtured. It needs to be cultivated on a daily basis. Then shall it germinate and yield its fruit.
If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
Fuller, Thomas
Without friends, no one would want to live, even if he had all other goods.
Aristotle
