Friends and friendship Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Friends, both the imaginary ones you build for yourself out of phrases taken from a living writer, or real ones from college, and relatives, despite all the waste of ceremony and fakery and the fact that out of an hour of conversation you may have only five minutes in which the old entente reappears, are the only real means for foreign ideas to enter your brain.
Baker, Nicholson

4.
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

5.
Friendship is a priceless treasure never to be bought or sold -- it can only be cherished.

6.
A friend once wrote: Give me your faith, not your doubts.

7.
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Francis De Sales, St.

8.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Winchell, Walter

9.
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another. -
Budgell, Eustace

10.
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

11.
Friendships that have stood the test of time and chance are surely best, Brows may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendship never knows decay.

12.
One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.
Adams, Henry Brooks

13.
Make friends before you need them

14.
Friends and neighbors, the taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly; and from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by allowing abatement.
Franklin, Benjamin

15.
Everybody needs one essential friend.
Glasser, Dr. William

16.
I can't forgive my friends for dying; I don't find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

17.
The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De

18.
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.

19.
Have friends. 'Tis a second existence.
Gracian, Baltasar

20.
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

21.
Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

22.
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

23.
I hate it in friends when they come too late to help.
Euripides

24.
Instead of loving your enemies -- treat your friends a little better.
Howe, Edgar Watson

25.
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
Keep a fair-sized cemetery in your back yard, in which to bury the faults of your friends.
Beecher, Henry Ward

30.
A puppy plays with every pup he meets, but an old dog has few associates.
Billings, Josh

31.
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

32.
Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.
Seneca

33.
Friendship is to have the latchkey of another's mind.
Godospeed, Edgar

34.
Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means you've become a comfortable, trusted element in another person's life.
Brothers, Dr. Joyce

35.
Show me a friend in need and I'll show you a pest.
Lewis, Joe E.

36.
If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life -- if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.
Scott, Sir Walter

37.
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

38.
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

39.
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

40.
Who ceases to be a friend never was one.
Proverb, Greek

41.
Friendship is a comforting smile, A familiar voice that warms the heart, and the freedom to be the person God intended.

42.
Many merry Christmases, friendships, great accumulation of cheerful recollections, affection on earth, and Heaven at last for all of us.
Dickens, Charles

43.
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.Before him, I may think aloud.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

44.
There is no friend as loyal as a book
Hemingway, Ernest

45.
I don't like that man. I'm going to have to get to know him better.
Lincoln, Abraham

46.
That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
Quarles, Francis

47.
There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Franklin, Benjamin

48.
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

49.
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

50.
A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
Craik, Dinah Maria Mulock
