Friends and friendship

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

Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Friendship is Love without his wings!
Byron, Lord

4.
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ.
Chambers, Oswald

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
Disraeli, Benjamin

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

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

8.
What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

9.
Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle

10.
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

11.
Life is nothing without friendship.
Cicero, Marcus T.

An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretended friend is worse.
Gay, John

A good friend is my nearest relation.
Fuller, Thomas

14.
We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.
Epicurus

15.
That is what friendship means. Sharing the prejudice of experience.
Bukowski, Charles

16.
A friend is someone who doesn't like the same people you do.
Proverb

17.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Gracian, Baltasar

18.
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

19.
Friendship is to be purchased only by friendship. A man may have authority over others, but he can never have their hearts but by giving his own.
Wilson, Thomas

20.
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.

21.
Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
Gibran, Kahlil

22.
Without friends no one would choose to live.
Aristotle

23.
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

24.
Your friendship is your needs answered.
Proverb, Danish

25.
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Gibran, Kahlil

26.
Money can't buy you friends; but you do get a better class of enemies.
White, Somers

27.
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

28.
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

29.
Often we have no time for our friends but all the time in the world for our enemies.
Uris, Leon

30.
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

31.
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer

32.
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

33.
Friendship is a very simple word, very commonly used. The word friend is almost used on a daily basis. Yet, the depth and meaning of friendship certainly go beyond the simple and the common. Throughout history friendship has been a favorite theme for many writers. The following passages highlight what others have said about friendship in the past.
Riera, Dorothy

34.
Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend. All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.
Crowell, Grace Noll

35.
I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
A friend you have to buy; enemies you get for nothing.
Proverb, Jewish

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Walker, Alice

38.
My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.
Iacocca, Lee

39.
So long as we are loved by others I should say that we are almost indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

40.
I desire to so conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
Lincoln, Abraham

41.
True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.
Thoreau, Henry David

42.
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Meltzer, Bernard

43.
Friendship is to have the latchkey of another's mind.
Godospeed, Edgar

44.
He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.
Joubert, Joseph

45.
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.

The imaginary friends I had as a kid dropped me because their friends thought I didn't exist.

Marden, Orison Swett

50.
The ideal friendship is to feel as one while remaining two.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie
