My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.

Wordsworth, William

Bacon, Francis

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

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

28.

To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel. Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.

Thoreau, Henry David

29.

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

30.

Show me a friend in need and I'll show you a pest.

Lewis, Joe E.

A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.

Crane, Frank

32.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Butler, Samuel

33.

He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.

Joubert, Joseph

34.

Stay is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.

Alcott, Louisa May

35.

There is an electricity about a friendship relationship. We are both more relaxed and more sensitive, more creative and more reflective, more energetic and more casual, more excited and more serene. It is as though when we come in contact with our friend we enter into a different environment. ANDREW M. GREELEY

Greeley, Andrew M.
