God gives us our relatives -- thank God we can choose our friends.

Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
Quarles, Francis
Ones oldest friend is the best.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want.
Toast, Irish
Friendship should be a private pleasure, not a public boast. I loathe those braggarts who are forever trying to invest themselves with importance by calling important people by their first names in or out of print. Such first-naming for effect makes me cringe.
Brown, John Mason
When you need someone to comfort you, a friend is near
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
La Fontaine, Jean De
Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
Gibran, Kahlil
A home-made friend wears longer than one you buy in the market.
O'Malley, Austin
There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please --that is, as they please or displease us.
Hazlitt, William
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
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
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Santayana, George
In comradeship is danger countered best.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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.
A friend is someone who doesn't like the same people you do.
Proverb
Good friends are good for your health.
Sarason, Irwin
Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel that you've done a permanent job.
Randall, Erwin T.
The endearing elegance of female friendship.
Johnson, Samuel
If I cannot understand my friend's silence, I will never get to understand his words.
Powell, John Enoch
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
Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache; do be my enemy for friendship's sake.
Blake, William
A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.
Digest, Readers
Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
Pythagoras
Friendship should be a responsibility, never an opportunity.
Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead. Do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead.
Cummins, Anna
Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. [Proverbs 18:24]
Bible
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
Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world.
Perry, Ralph B.
A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
And what a delight it is to make friends with someone you have despised.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
He whose hand is clasped in friendship cannot throw mud.
Man strives for glory, honor, fame, so that all the world may know his name. Amasses wealth by brain and hand. Becomes a power in the land. But when he nears the end of life and looks back over the years of strife. He finds that happiness depends on none of these but love of friends.
Friendship is a comforting smile, A familiar voice that warms the heart, and the freedom to be the person God intended.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care to acquire.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Show me a friend in need and I'll show you a pest.
Lewis, Joe E.
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness...
Bach, Richard
The worst solitude is to have no real friendships.
Bacon, Francis
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
A friend is someone you can be alone with and have nothing to do and not be able to think of anything to say and be comfortable in the silence.
Condie, Sheryl
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.
Saying, Hasidic
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
Wein, Len
Friends are proved by adversity.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
It is not what you give your friend, but what you are willing to give him that determines the quality of friendship.
Thayer, Mary Dixon
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset
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
