Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure.
Saying, Jewish

2.
The mind is lowered through association with inferiors. With equals it attains equality; and with superiors, superiority.
Hitopadesa

3.
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

4.
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
Wein, Len

5.
I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
It is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that proves them.
Proverb

7.
He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.
Joubert, Joseph

8.
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset

9.
The time to make friends is before you need them.
Proverb

10.
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another. -
Budgell, Eustace

11.
An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretended friend is worse.
Gay, John

12.
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

13.
True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.
Gentry, David Tyson

14.
The gift of friendship... a willingness to listen... a pair of helping hands... a whisper from the heart. That someone cares and understands.

15.
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right.
Notebook

16.
It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Gandhi, Mahatma

17.
Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
Watson, Thomas J.

18.
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

19.
Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.
Wycherley, William

20.
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

21.
In the misfortunes of our best friends we always find something not altogether displeasing to us.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

22.
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Walker, Alice

23.
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

24.
Keep out of the suction caused by those who drift backwards.
Piper, E. K.

25.
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.

26.
Never exaggerate your faults, your friends will attend to that.
Edwards, Robert C.

27.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Gibran, Kahlil

28.
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

29.
That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
Quarles, Francis

30.
Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold.

31.
Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
Pepys, Samuel

32.
A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

33.
To the query, What is a friend? his reply was A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Build bridges instead of walls and you will have a friend.

37.
It may be a cold, clammy thing to say, but those that treat friendship the same as any other selfishness seem to get the most out of it.
Howe, Edgar Watson

38.
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama

39.
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

40.
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.

41.
I have a friend who tells a tale With statements parenthetical; To start at the beginning must To her seem quite heretical; For her accounts of happenings Are full of disconnection s; She starts them in the middle, And proceeds in all directions.
Stux, Erica H.

42.
Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins. Love between a man and a woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self-seeking. But to have a friend and to be true under any and all trials is the mark of a man!
Eastman, Charles Alexander

43.
You have been my friends, replied Charlotte, that in itself is a tremendous thing...
White, Elwyn Brooks

44.
Two friendships in two breasts requires The same aversions and desires.
Swift, Jonathan

Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Richter, Jean Paul

46.
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

47.
I would rather have a million friends than a million dollars.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon

48.
Can miles truly separate us from friends? If we want to be with someone we love, aren't we already there?
Bach, Richard

49.
When you need someone to comfort you, a friend is near

50.
Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle
