Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
Gracian, Baltasar
If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone; one should keep his friendships in constant repair.
Johnson, Samuel
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.
Twain, Mark
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
Jerome, St.
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
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Meltzer, Bernard
... 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
Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle
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
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van
The good fellow to everyone is a good friend to no one.
Proverb, Jewish
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
So long as we are loved by others I should say that we are almost indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
The endearing elegance of female friendship.
Johnson, Samuel
A puppy plays with every pup he meets, but an old dog has few associates.
Billings, Josh
The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.
Epicurus
In a friend you find a second self.
Norton, Isabelle
To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.
Sallust
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
How delightful to find a friend in everyone.
Brodsky, Joseph
There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures.
Penn, William
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
O'Malley, Austin
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care to acquire.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his grieves to his friend, but he grieveth the less.
Bacon, Francis
Be not the fourth friend of him who had three before and lost them.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
In comradeship is danger countered best.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It can never be bought or borrowed or sold A gift to be cherished, True friendship is a treasure beyond compare.
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Walker, Alice
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over. So in a series of kindness there is, at last, one which makes the heart run over.
Boswell, James
A friend you have to buy; enemies you get for nothing.
Proverb, Jewish
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Gibran, Kahlil
Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means you've become a comfortable, trusted element in another person's life.
Brothers, Dr. Joyce
Life is nothing without friendship.
Cicero, Marcus T.
In the adversity of our best friends we often find something that does not displease us.
Young, Brigham
Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, who has sight so keen and strong That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroken; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
In the misfortunes of our best friends we always find something not altogether displeasing to us.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Santayana, George
He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.
Joubert, Joseph
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right.
Notebook
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
Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. [Proverbs 18:24]
Bible
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Gracian, Baltasar
Many merry Christmases, friendships, great accumulation of cheerful recollections, affection on earth, and Heaven at last for all of us.
Dickens, Charles
These can never be true friends: Hope, dice, a prostitute, a robber, a cheat, a goldsmith, a monkey, a doctor, a distiller.
Proverb, Indian
The only way not to break a friendship is not to drop it.
Holz, Julie
Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
Woolf, Virginia
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
