Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
It can never be bought or borrowed or sold A gift to be cherished, True friendship is a treasure beyond compare.

2.
Your friend is that man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
Hubbard, Elbert

3.
You can always tell a real friend; when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
Peter, Laurence J.

4.
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
Greeley, Andrew M.

5.
Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

6.
I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

7.
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

8.
I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.
Ustinov, Peter

9.
If I cannot understand my friend's silence, I will never get to understand his words.
Powell, John Enoch

10.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
Walton, Izaak

11.
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van

12.
If a man urge me to tell wherefore I loved him, I feel it cannot be expressed but by answering: Because it was he, because it was myself.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

13.
Seek the friend who's hand helped you and tell them what they mean to you.

14.
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset

15.
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

16.
A good friend is my nearest relation.
Fuller, Thomas

17.
Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendship and intimacies, and soon their places will know them no more, and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to keep by force of inertia.
James, William

18.
He is a fine friend. He stabs you in the front.
Levinson, Leonard Louis

19.
The miracle of friendship can be spoken without words... hearing unspoken needs, recognizing secret dreams, understanding the silent things that only true friend know.

20.
Two friendships in two breasts requires The same aversions and desires.
Swift, Jonathan

21.
We shelter children for a time; we live side by side with men; and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.
Weldon, Fay

22.
A friend is a present you give to yourself.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

23.
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

24.
My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.
Iacocca, Lee

25.
My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

26.
In a bad marriage, friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends, we may go on for years, intending to leave, talking about leaving --instead of actually getting up and leaving.
Jong, Erica

27.
Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.
Euripides

28.
Often, I look out the window and wait. I see her as she comes and goes, to visit with everyone-it seems but me. I know that sometimes I'm not as friendly as I should be. But I'm scared- that people won't like me. So I hide in my shell. And talk to know one. But still... I wish they would notice that I am here. I need them. Please, somebody talk to me. I need a friend.

29.
You have been my friends, replied Charlotte, that in itself is a tremendous thing...
White, Elwyn Brooks

30.
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle

31.
And what a delight it is to make friends with someone you have despised.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

32.
Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?
Jefferson, Thomas

33.
It is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that proves them.
Proverb

34.
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.
Larson, Doug

Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

37.
There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Franklin, Benjamin

38.
Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

39.
The best vitamin for making friends, B-1.

40.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
Butler, Samuel

41.
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

42.
Thus much for thy assurance know; a hollow friend is but a hellish foe.
Breton, Nicholas

43.
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

44.
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

45.
A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure.
Bible

46.
True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.
Washington, George

47.
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle

48.
One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

49.
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Byron, Lord

50.
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
