The worst solitude is to have no real friendships.
Bacon, Francis

Clark, Esther M.

6.
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

Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De

Every deed and every relationship is surrounded by an atmosphere of silence. Friendship needs no words -- it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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.

Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Richter, Jean Paul

Strindberg, J. August

29.
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Santayana, George

30.
One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

31.
In a friend you find a second self.
Norton, Isabelle

32.
Think where man's glory most begins and ends, And say my glory was I had such friends.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

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

37.
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

38.
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van

39.
Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.
Wycherley, William

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first... when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
Yogananda, Paramahansa

Condie, Sheryl

44.
Learn to reject friendship, or rather the dream of friendship. To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art, or life (like aesthetic joys). I must refuse it in order to be worthy to receive it
Weil, Simone

45.
Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

46.
Everybody needs one essential friend.
Glasser, Dr. William

47.
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset

48.
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

49.
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

50.
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
