Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
Jerome, St.

2.
I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, who has sight so keen and strong That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroken; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Join the company of lions rather than assume the lead among foxes.
Talmud, The

6.
To each one of us friendship has a different meaning. For all of us it is a gift. Friendship needs to be cherished and nurtured. It needs to be cultivated on a daily basis. Then shall it germinate and yield its fruit.

7.
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

8.
Good friends are good for your health.
Sarason, Irwin

9.
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ.
Chambers, Oswald

10.
Seek the friend who's hand helped you and tell them what they mean to you.

11.
To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel. Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.
Thoreau, Henry David

12.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
Walton, Izaak

13.
The book is closed, the year is done, The pages full of tasks begun. A little joy, a little care, Along with dreams, are written there. This new day brings another year, Renewing hope, dispelling fear. And we may find before the end, A deep content, another friend.
Ward, Arch

14.
A Friendship that's sincere are true. Gives joy like nothing else will do; That's why glad hearts look up and send A prayer of thanks for faithful friends.

15.
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
Leonard, John

16.
I like a friend the better for having faults that one can talk about.
Hazlitt, William

17.
A Friend is a treasure. More precious than Gold, For love shared is priceless And never grows old.

18.
No young man starting in life could have better capital than plenty of friends. They will strengthen his credit, support him in every great effort, and make him what, unaided, he could never be. Friends of the right sort will help him more -- to be happy and successful -- than much money...
Marden, Orison Swett

19.
Short judgments make long friends.
Proverb

20.
For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation.
Weil, Simone

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

24.
That is what friendship means. Sharing the prejudice of experience.
Bukowski, Charles

25.
For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required.
Proverb, Indian

26.
He is a fine friend. He stabs you in the front.
Levinson, Leonard Louis

27.
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

28.
The mind is lowered through association with inferiors. With equals it attains equality; and with superiors, superiority.
Hitopadesa

29.
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

30.
Your notions of friendship are new to me; I believe every man is born with his quantum, and he cannot give to one without robbing another. I very well know to whom I would give the first place in my friendship, but they are not in the way, I am condemned to another scene, and therefore I distribute it in pennyworths to those about me, and who displease me least, and should do the same to my fellow prisoners if I were condemned to a jail.
Swift, Jonathan

31.
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Meltzer, Bernard

32.
Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

33.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Winchell, Walter

34.
God gives us our relatives -- thank God we can choose our friends.
Mumford, Ethel Watts

35.
Do not tell a friend anything you would conceal from an enemy.
Proverb, Arabian

36.
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness...
Bach, Richard

37.
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Francis De Sales, St.

38.
Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold.

39.
Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
Colton, Charles Caleb

40.
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

41.
I desire to so conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
Lincoln, Abraham

42.
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

43.
A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. [Proverbs 27:19]
Bible

44.
Plant a seed of friendship; reap a bouquet of happiness.
Kaufman, Lois L.

45.
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

46.
Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

47.
Among Life's precious jewels, Genuine and rare, The one that we call friendship Has worth beyond compare.

48.
To keep a new friend, never break with the old.
Proverb, Russian

49.
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

50.
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.
