Motivational Quotes

Friends and friendship

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

Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle

2.
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

3.
Your friend is your needs answered.
Gibran, Kahlil

4.
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.

5.
What is a friend? I will tell you it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
Crane, Frank

6.
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Meltzer, Bernard

7.
Many merry Christmases, friendships, great accumulation of cheerful recollections, affection on earth, and Heaven at last for all of us.
Dickens, Charles

8.
There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Franklin, Benjamin

9.
I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

10.
Verily, great grace may go with a little gift; and precious are all things that come from a friend.
Theocritus

11.
Win new friends but keep the old. The first are silver; the latter gold.

12.
Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
Watson, Thomas J.

13.
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

14.
A Friend is a treasure. More precious than Gold, For love shared is priceless And never grows old.

15.
God gives us our relatives -- thank God we can choose our friends.
Mumford, Ethel Watts

16.
Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.
Euripides

17.
There is a scarcity of friendship, but not of friends.
Fuller, Thomas

18.
Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
Pepys, Samuel

19.
In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other's affairs, who come out together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
Connolly, Cyril

20.
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

21.
For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required.
Proverb, Indian

22.
The glory of friendship is not in the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is in the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.
Aristotle

24.
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.Before him, I may think aloud.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
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.

26.
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.

27.
Friends are proved by adversity.
Cicero, Marcus T.

28.
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

29.
Thus much for thy assurance know; a hollow friend is but a hellish foe.
Breton, Nicholas

30.
Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
Randolf, G.

31.
Win hearts, and you have hands and purses.
Burleigh, Lord

32.
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

33.
Can miles truly separate us from friends? If we want to be with someone we love, aren't we already there?
Bach, Richard

34.
Since it has been my lot to find, at every parting of the road, the helping hand of comrade kind to help me with my heavy load, And since I have no gold to give and love alone must make amends, my humble prayer is, while I live -- God, make me worthy of my friends.

35.
When you face a crisis, you know who your true friends are.
Johnson, Earvin ''Magic''

36.
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
Leonard, John

37.
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
Pythagoras

38.
Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world.
Perry, Ralph B.

39.
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
O'Malley, Austin

40.
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

41.
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
Shaw, George Bernard

42.
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.

Yogananda, Paramahansa
