Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.

Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
Alcott, Amos Bronson
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil -- but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small silly presents every so often -- just to save it from drying out completely
Brown, Pam
The ideal friendship is to feel as one while remaining two.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie
Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
Watson, Thomas J.
The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest.
La Bruyere, Jean De
These can never be true friends: Hope, dice, a prostitute, a robber, a cheat, a goldsmith, a monkey, a doctor, a distiller.
Proverb, Indian
Between friends differences in taste or opinion are irritating in direct proportion to their triviality.
Auden, W. H.
If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
Fuller, Thomas
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.
Make friends before you need them
With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.
Proverb, Chinese
It's funny, isn't it? How your best friend can just blow up like that?
Python, Monty
In a friend you find a second self.
Norton, Isabelle
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Richter, Jean Paul
Among Life's precious jewels, Genuine and rare, The one that we call friendship Has worth beyond compare.
Stay is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.
Alcott, Louisa May
The mind is lowered through association with inferiors. With equals it attains equality; and with superiors, superiority.
Hitopadesa
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
Life is nothing without friendship.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
Pepys, Samuel
Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle
Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
Gibran, Kahlil
When you need someone to comfort you, a friend is near
Friends are needed both for joy and for sorrow.
Paterson, Samuel
Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. 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
Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable unto him. A new friend is as new wine: when it is old thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
Bible
A friend you have to buy won't be worth what you pay for him.
Prentice, George D.
Build bridges instead of walls and you will have a friend.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
Grant, Ulysses S.
My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.
Hazlitt, William
Keep a fair-sized cemetery in your back yard, in which to bury the faults of your friends.
Beecher, Henry Ward
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Winchell, Walter
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
Proverb, Sicilian
Every man, however wise, needs the advice of some sagacious friend in the affairs of life.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques
There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first... when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
Yogananda, Paramahansa
A friend once wrote: Give me your faith, not your doubts.
An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.
Proverb, Spanish
Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. [Proverbs 18:24]
Bible
Every deed and every relationship is surrounded by an atmosphere of silence. Friendship needs no words -- it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family --but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.
Cather, Willa
A good motto is: Use friendliness but do not use your friends.
Crane, Frank
The gift of friendship... a willingness to listen... a pair of helping hands... a whisper from the heart. That someone cares and understands.
When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.
Franklin, Miles
A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
It is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that proves them.
Proverb
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.
Saying, Hasidic
Instead of loving your enemies -- treat your friends a little better.
Howe, Edgar Watson
But just as delicate fare does not stop you from craving for saveloys, so tried and exquisite friendship does not take away your taste for something new and dubious.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
