Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer

2.
Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

3.
The gift of friendship is a wondrous thing with the joys and happiness good friends bring.

4.
It may be a cold, clammy thing to say, but those that treat friendship the same as any other selfishness seem to get the most out of it.
Howe, Edgar Watson

5.
Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

6.
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van

7.
True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.
Thoreau, Henry David

8.
Friends are needed both for joy and for sorrow.
Paterson, Samuel

9.
To myself, personally, it brings nothing but increasing drudgery and daily loss of friends.
Jefferson, Thomas

10.
To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Luther, Martin

11.
Among Life's precious jewels, Genuine and rare, The one that we call friendship Has worth beyond compare.

12.
I am already kindly disposed towards you. 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

13.
Friendship is to have the latchkey of another's mind.
Godospeed, Edgar

14.
Two friendships in two breasts requires The same aversions and desires.
Swift, Jonathan

15.
Never shall I forget the time I spent with you. Please continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van

16.
We die as often as we lose a friend.
Syrus, Publilius

17.
There are persons who cannot make friends. Who are they? Those who cannot be friends. It is not the want of understanding or good nature, of entertaining or useful qualities, that you complain of: on the contrary, they have probably many points of attraction; but they have one that neutralizes all these --they care nothing about you, and are neither the better nor worse for what you think of them. They manifest no joy at your approach; and when you leave them, it is with a feeling that they can do just as well without you. This is not sullenness, nor indifference, nor absence of mind; but they are intent solely on their own thoughts, and you are merely one of the subjects they exercise them upon. They live in society as in a solitude.
Hazlitt, William

18.
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

19.
Win new friends but keep the old. The first are silver; the latter gold.

20.
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.

21.
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

22.
It can never be bought or borrowed or sold A gift to be cherished, True friendship is a treasure beyond compare.

23.
A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.
Cummings, Fr. Jerome

24.
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

25.
Between friends differences in taste or opinion are irritating in direct proportion to their triviality.
Auden, W. H.

26.
The miracle of friendship can be spoken without words... hearing unspoken needs, recognizing secret dreams, understanding the silent things that only true friend know.

27.
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

28.
A ray of sunshine, a balmy breeze Are a gift from God above, And He also gives us faithful friends. To warm our hearts with love.

29.
Of all things which wisdom provides to make life entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.
Epicurus

30.
To the query, What is a friend? his reply was A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle

31.
He whose hand is clasped in friendship cannot throw mud.

32.
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

33.
Friendship is a horizon -- which expands whenever we approach it.
Hazlip, E.R.

34.
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.

35.
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Byron, Lord

36.
My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

37.
If you have no enemies you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.
Hubbard, Elbert

38.
The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

39.
Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendship and intimacies, and soon their places will know them no more, and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to keep by force of inertia.
James, William

40.
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.

41.
There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please --that is, as they please or displease us.
Hazlitt, William

42.
The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.
Addison, Joseph

43.
Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.
Hazlitt, William

44.
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

45.
Never, my dear Sir, do you take it into your head that I do not love you; you may settle yourself in full confidence both of my love and my esteem; I love you as a kind man, I value you as a worthy man, and hope in time to reverence you as a man of exemplary piety.
Johnson, Samuel

46.
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

47.
A friend is someone you can be alone with and have nothing to do and not be able to think of anything to say and be comfortable in the silence.
Condie, Sheryl

48.
Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
Randolf, G.

49.
Love Him, and keep Him for thy Friend, who, when all go away, will not forsake thee, nor suffer thee to perish at the last.
Kempis, Thomas

50.
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
