Motivational Quotes

Friends and friendship

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

Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
Broken friendships can be soldered, but never sound.
Proverb

2.
Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure.
Saying, Jewish

3.
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.

4.
Win hearts, and you have hands and purses.
Burleigh, Lord

5.
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.

6.
I like a friend the better for having faults that one can talk about.
Hazlitt, William

Let your best be for your friend...
Gibran, Kahlil

You can't eat your friends and have them too.
Schulberg, Budd

Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
Proverb, Sicilian

10.
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.
Saying, Hasidic

11.
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

12.
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

13.
The time to make friends is before you need them.
Proverb

14.
Make friends before you need them

15.
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over. So in a series of kindness there is, at last, one which makes the heart run over.
Boswell, James

16.
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
O'Malley, Austin

17.
Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel that you've done a permanent job.
Randall, Erwin T.

18.
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

19.
Your friends will know you better in the first minute they meet you than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
Bach, Richard

20.
A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.
Digest, Readers

21.
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.

22.
Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.
Craik, Dinah Mulock

23.
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its grieves and anxieties.
Cicero, Marcus T.

24.
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

25.
There is no friend as loyal as a book
Hemingway, Ernest

26.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle

28.
I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred --that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt. If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without a remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.
Stowe, Harriet Beecher

29.
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.

30.
The only way not to break a friendship is not to drop it.
Holz, Julie

31.
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Goldsmith, Oliver

32.
To each one of us friendship has a different meaning. For all of us it is a gift. Friendship needs to be cherished and nurtured. It needs to be cultivated on a daily basis. Then shall it germinate and yield its fruit.

33.
Many a time from a bad beginning great friendships have sprung up.
Terence

34.
... 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

35.
True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
Jerome, St.

36.
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.
Thoreau, Henry David

37.
To let friendship die away by negligence and silence is certainly not wise. It is voluntarily to throw away one of the greatest comforts of the weary pilgrimage.
Johnson, Samuel

38.
I'm treating you as a friend asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future pluses
Mansfield, Katherine

39.
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

40.
With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.
Proverb, Chinese

41.
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.
Belloc, Hilaire

42.
He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.
Joubert, Joseph

43.
A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
Shakespeare, William

44.
Plant a seed of friendship; reap a bouquet of happiness.
Kaufman, Lois L.

45.
If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
Fuller, Thomas

46.
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

47.
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.

48.
Friend -- One who knows all about you and likes you just the same

49.
Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
Colton, Charles Caleb

50.
Many merry Christmases, friendships, great accumulation of cheerful recollections, affection on earth, and Heaven at last for all of us.
Dickens, Charles
