Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
If I cannot understand my friend's silence, I will never get to understand his words.
Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
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
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
We die as often as we lose a friend.
Syrus, Publilius
Every man, however wise, needs the advice of some sagacious friend in the affairs of life.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Never exaggerate your faults, your friends will attend to that.
Edwards, Robert C.
Separate from the pleasure of your company, I don't much care if I never see another mountain in my life.
Lamb, Charles
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.
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Richter, Jean Paul
The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.
Hazlitt, William
The time to make friends is before you need them.
Proverb
True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
Jerome, St.
How delightful to find a friend in everyone.
Brodsky, Joseph
Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.
La Fontaine, Jean De
Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his grieves to his friend, but he grieveth the less.
Bacon, Francis
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
Keep a fair-sized cemetery in your back yard, in which to bury the faults of your friends.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Friendship is a horizon -- which expands whenever we approach it.
Hazlip, E.R.
Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.
Addison, Joseph
Let your best be for your friend...
Gibran, Kahlil
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
Your friendship is your needs answered.
Proverb, Danish
Those who forgets their friends to follow those of a higher status are truly snobs.
Thackeray, William M.
To the query, What is a friend? his reply was A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle
For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required.
Proverb, Indian
Win hearts, and you have hands and purses.
Burleigh, Lord
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.
The gift of friendship... a willingness to listen... a pair of helping hands... a whisper from the heart. That someone cares and understands.
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Francis De Sales, St.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Gracian, Baltasar
I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
Brault, Robert
A friend walks in when everyone else walks out
A friend loveth at all times. [Proverbs 17:17]
Bible
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
O'Malley, Austin
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset
What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
Do not choose for your friends and familiar acquaintance those that are of an estate or quality too much above yours...You will hereby accustom yourselves to live after their rate in clothes, in habit, and in expenses, whereby you will learn a fashion and rank of life above your degree and estate, which will in the end be your undoing.
Hale, Matthew
If you have no enemies you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.
Hubbard, Elbert
The best vitamin for making friends, B-1.
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.
Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
Strindberg, J. August
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
The best time to make friends is before you need them.
Barrymore, Ethel
Life is nothing without friendship.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
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
