Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
There is an electricity about a friendship relationship. We are both more relaxed and more sensitive, more creative and more reflective, more energetic and more casual, more excited and more serene. It is as though when we come in contact with our friend we enter into a different environment. ANDREW M. GREELEY

Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
The only way not to break a friendship is not to drop it.
Holz, Julie
Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
Leonard, John
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
It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
Bennett, Arnold
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
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness...
Bach, Richard
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
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
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Walker, Alice
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
And the joy of it all; when we count it all up; is found in the making of friends.
The good fellow to everyone is a good friend to no one.
Proverb, Jewish
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
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Richter, Jean Paul
Precious gifts of friendship... knowing the heart of another, sharing one's heart with another.
Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. [Proverbs 18:24]
Bible
A Friendship that's sincere are true. Gives joy like nothing else will do; That's why glad hearts look up and send A prayer of thanks for faithful friends.
God gives us our relatives -- thank God we can choose our friends.
Mumford, Ethel Watts
The mind is lowered through association with inferiors. With equals it attains equality; and with superiors, superiority.
Hitopadesa
The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
Thoreau, Henry David
A friend is one who incessantly pays us the compliment of expecting from us all the virtues, and who can appreciate them in us. The friend asks no return but that his friend will religiously accept and wear and not disgrace his apotheosis of him. They cherish each other's hopes. They are kind to each other's dreams.
Thoreau, Henry David
There is no greater treasure than the respect and love of a true friend.
Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.
La Fontaine, Jean De
Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.
Byrnes, James F.
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Friends are like fiddle strings, they must not be screwed too tight.
Proverb, English
Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins. Love between a man and a woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self-seeking. But to have a friend and to be true under any and all trials is the mark of a man!
Eastman, Charles Alexander
Build bridges instead of walls and you will have a friend.
The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses.
Storey, David
It takes two people to ruin a perfectly good day. First a person who says something downright nasty about you, and second, a dear friend who makes sure you hear about it immediately.
It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Gandhi, Mahatma
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Winchell, Walter
I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
Brault, Robert
A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. [Proverbs 27:19]
Bible
Seek the friend who's hand helped you and tell them what they mean to you.
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
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
The miracle of friendship can be spoken without words... hearing unspoken needs, recognizing secret dreams, understanding the silent things that only true friend know.
A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
Crane, Frank
When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.
Belloc, Hilaire
Money can't buy you friends; but you do get a better class of enemies.
White, Somers
Your friends will know you better in the first minute they meet you than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
Bach, Richard
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
A home-made friend wears longer than one you buy in the market.
O'Malley, Austin
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
We will win the world when we realize that fellowship, not evangelism, must be our primary emphasis. When we demonstrate the Big Miracle of Love, it won't be necessary for us to go out -- they will come in.
Moody, Jess
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend, before he knows him.
Cervantes, Miguel De
Keep out of the suction caused by those who drift backwards.
Piper, E. K.
