Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel that you've done a permanent job.

Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The best time to make friends is before you need them.
Barrymore, Ethel
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.
Larson, Doug
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. [Proverbs 18:24]
Bible
It takes two people to ruin a perfectly good day. First a person who says something downright nasty about you, and second, a dear friend who makes sure you hear about it immediately.
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 puppy plays with every pup he meets, but an old dog has few associates.
Billings, Josh
A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
Crane, Frank
I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Francis De Sales, St.
Friends are like melons; shall I tell you why? To find one good you must one hundred try.
Mermet, Claude
Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache; do be my enemy for friendship's sake.
Blake, William
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Gibran, Kahlil
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
Your friend is your needs answered.
Gibran, Kahlil
The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
Thoreau, Henry David
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.
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
He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.
Joubert, Joseph
In the misfortunes of our best friends we always find something not altogether displeasing to us.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses.
Storey, David
Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.
Byrnes, James F.
A friend you have to buy won't be worth what you pay for him.
Prentice, George D.
The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
You can't eat your friends and have them too.
Schulberg, Budd
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
Aristotle
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.
I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred --that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt. If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without a remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.
Stowe, Harriet Beecher
Precious gifts of friendship... knowing the heart of another, sharing one's heart with another.
A man should choose a friend who is better than himself. There are plenty of acquaintances in the world; but very few real friends.
Proverb, Chinese
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.
Branagh, Kenneth
A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure.
Bible
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Glasgow, Arnold H.
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
He is a fine friend. He stabs you in the front.
Levinson, Leonard Louis
Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.
Addison, Joseph
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
Lewis, C. S.
Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?
Jefferson, Thomas
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.
If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find they're very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.
Ziglar, Zig
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
Hold a true friend with both your hands.
Proverb, Nigerian
Never, my dear Sir, do you take it into your head that I do not love you; you may settle yourself in full confidence both of my love and my esteem; I love you as a kind man, I value you as a worthy man, and hope in time to reverence you as a man of exemplary piety.
Johnson, Samuel
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Gracian, Baltasar
Broken friendships can be soldered, but never sound.
Proverb
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
Leonard, John
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.
Friends come and go but enemies accumulate.
Bloch, Arthur
