Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

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

Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures.

Seneca

The gift of friendship is a wondrous thing with the joys and happiness good friends bring.

Friendship is a priceless treasure never to be bought or sold -- it can only be cherished.

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

There is no greater treasure than the respect and love of a true friend.

Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Euripides

Penn, William

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.

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

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

Ebers, George

Learn to reject friendship, or rather the dream of friendship. To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art, or life (like aesthetic joys). I must refuse it in order to be worthy to receive it

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

26.

Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend. All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.

Crowell, Grace Noll
