Friends and friendship

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
Friends and friendship Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama

2.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
Aristotle

3.
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

4.
Make friends before you need them

5.
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

6.
Life is nothing without friendship.
Cicero, Marcus T.

7.
God gives us our relatives -- thank God we can choose our friends.
Mumford, Ethel Watts

8.
It is not what you give your friend, but what you are willing to give him that determines the quality of friendship.
Thayer, Mary Dixon

9.
A mistress never is nor can be a friend. While you agree, you are lovers; and when it is over, anything but friends.
Byron, Lord

10.
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

11.
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

12.
He whose hand is clasped in friendship cannot throw mud.

13.
Plant a seed of friendship; reap a bouquet of happiness.
Kaufman, Lois L.

14.
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Gibran, Kahlil

15.
I have three kinds of friends: those who love me, those who pay no attention to me, and those who detest me.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

16.
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Meltzer, Bernard

17.
A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.
Digest, Readers

18.
How rare and wonderful is that flash of a moment when we realize we have discovered a friend.
Rothschild, William E.

19.
Friendship should be a private pleasure, not a public boast. I loathe those braggarts who are forever trying to invest themselves with importance by calling important people by their first names in or out of print. Such first-naming for effect makes me cringe.
Brown, John Mason

20.
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
Euripides

21.
Short judgments make long friends.
Proverb

22.
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset

23.
We will win the world when we realize that fellowship, not evangelism, must be our primary emphasis. When we demonstrate the Big Miracle of Love, it won't be necessary for us to go out -- they will come in.
Moody, Jess

24.
My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.
Gabirol, Ibn

25.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Gibran, Kahlil

26.
I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.
Ustinov, Peter

27.
Precious gifts of friendship... knowing the heart of another, sharing one's heart with another.

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.
Give me work to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble common sense. At the close of each day Give me a book And a friend with whom I can be silent.
Frazier, S. M.

30.
A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. [Proverbs 27:19]
Bible

31.
A Friend is a treasure. More precious than Gold, For love shared is priceless And never grows old.

32.
Your friendship is your needs answered.
Proverb, Danish

33.
A friend you have to buy won't be worth what you pay for him.
Prentice, George D.

34.
Friendship is a priceless treasure never to be bought or sold -- it can only be cherished.

35.
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

36.
Friendship is like a bank account. You can't continue to draw on it without making deposits.

37.
Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
Pepys, Samuel

38.
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.

39.
Seek the friend who's hand helped you and tell them what they mean to you.

40.
Friendship should be more than biting time can sever.
Eliot, T. S.

41.
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.

42.
Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.
Euripides

43.
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its grieves and anxieties.
Cicero, Marcus T.

44.
Stay is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.
Alcott, Louisa May

45.
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.
Saying, Hasidic

46.
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

47.
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

48.
Your friendship is a glowing ember Through the year; and each December From its warm and living spark We kindle flame against the dark And with its shining radiance light Our tree of faith on Christmas night.
Lund, Thelma J.

49.
Without friends, no one would want to live, even if he had all other goods.
Aristotle

50.
Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family --but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.
Cather, Willa
