Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
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.
Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
Never exaggerate your faults, your friends will attend to that.
Edwards, Robert C.
Instead of loving your enemies -- treat your friends a little better.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its grieves and anxieties.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
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
A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.
Cummings, Fr. Jerome
A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend, before he knows him.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
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
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
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
Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.
Branagh, Kenneth
Do not make best friends with a melancholy sad soul. They always are heavily loaded, and you must bear half.
FeNelon, Francois
You can always tell a real friend; when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
Peter, Laurence J.
In a bad marriage, friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends, we may go on for years, intending to leave, talking about leaving --instead of actually getting up and leaving.
Jong, Erica
Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
Strindberg, J. August
The ideal friendship is to feel as one while remaining two.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie
Those who forgets their friends to follow those of a higher status are truly snobs.
Thackeray, William M.
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.
Gentry, David Tyson
Thus much for thy assurance know; a hollow friend is but a hellish foe.
Breton, Nicholas
Hopes are planted in friendship's garden where dreams blossom into priceless treasures.
Friendship is a precious gift. To give at Christmas time. A Cherished gift, a treasured gift that lasts through all time.
All things being equal, people will do business with a friend; all things being unequal, people will still do business with a friend.
Mccormack, Mark
The imaginary friends I had as a kid dropped me because their friends thought I didn't exist.
Machado, Aaron
Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure.
Saying, Jewish
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van
With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.
Proverb, Chinese
We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for our ability to amuse them.
Waugh, Evelyn
... I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.
Fairbanks, Douglas
Friends are like fiddle strings, they must not be screwed too tight.
Proverb, English
The time to make friends is before you need them.
Proverb
I would rather have a million friends than a million dollars.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.Before him, I may think aloud.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
It can never be bought or borrowed or sold A gift to be cherished, True friendship is a treasure beyond compare.
Life is nothing without friendship.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
A friend once wrote: Give me your faith, not your doubts.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
Walton, Izaak
It is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that proves them.
Proverb
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
Euripides
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Meltzer, Bernard
Have friends. 'Tis a second existence.
Gracian, Baltasar
Keep a fair-sized cemetery in your back yard, in which to bury the faults of your friends.
Beecher, Henry Ward
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
If I cannot understand my friend's silence, I will never get to understand his words.
Powell, John Enoch
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Byron, Lord
Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
Gibran, Kahlil
Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.
Addison, Joseph
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
