Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
Your friend is that man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
Hubbard, Elbert

2.
Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
Watson, Thomas J.

3.
Friends are needed both for joy and for sorrow.
Paterson, Samuel

4.
A mistress never is nor can be a friend. While you agree, you are lovers; and when it is over, anything but friends.
Byron, Lord

5.
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

6.
Friendship is a comforting smile, A familiar voice that warms the heart, and the freedom to be the person God intended.

7.
My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.
Gabirol, Ibn

8.
Think where man's glory most begins and ends, And say my glory was I had such friends.
Yeats, William Butler

9.
In comradeship is danger countered best.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

10.
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

11.
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

12.
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

13.
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.
Larson, Doug

14.
Love Him, and keep Him for thy Friend, who, when all go away, will not forsake thee, nor suffer thee to perish at the last.
Kempis, Thomas

15.
God gives us our relatives -- thank God we can choose our friends.
Mumford, Ethel Watts

16.
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
Euripides

17.
The time to make friends is before you need them.
Proverb

18.
True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
Jerome, St.

19.
Stay is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.
Alcott, Louisa May

20.
I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Since it has been my lot to find, at every parting of the road, the helping hand of comrade kind to help me with my heavy load, And since I have no gold to give and love alone must make amends, my humble prayer is, while I live -- God, make me worthy of my friends.

22.
A man never likes you so well as when he leaves your company liking himself.

23.
If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
Fuller, Thomas

24.
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another. -
Budgell, Eustace

25.
Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

26.
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
Weil, Simone

27.
Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.
Owens, Jesse

28.
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
Shaw, George Bernard

29.
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset

30.
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
Keep out of the suction caused by those who drift backwards.
Piper, E. K.

32.
The only way not to break a friendship is not to drop it.
Holz, Julie

33.
Can miles truly separate us from friends? If we want to be with someone we love, aren't we already there?
Bach, Richard

34.
Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate.
Pratt, David

35.
Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or to keep one.
Lee, Robert E.

36.
I like a friend the better for having faults that one can talk about.
Hazlitt, William

37.
If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.
Augustine, St.

38.
Be slow in choosing a friend, but slower in changing him.
Proverb

39.
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

40.
With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.
Proverb, Chinese

41.
Friendship is a precious gift. To give at Christmas time. A Cherished gift, a treasured gift that lasts through all time.

42.
Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.
Addison, Joseph

43.
Friendship is a horizon -- which expands whenever we approach it.
Hazlip, E.R.

44.
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend.
Camus, Albert

45.
Give me one friend, just one, who meets The needs of all my varying moods.
Clark, Esther M.

46.
Tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are.
Proverb, Russian

47.
We die as often as we lose a friend.
Syrus, Publilius

48.
A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.
Cummings, Fr. Jerome

49.
There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Franklin, Benjamin

50.
Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.
Hazlitt, William
