Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
My friends, there are no friends.
Chanel, Coco
If I cannot understand my friend's silence, I will never get to understand his words.
Powell, John Enoch
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
Jerome, St.
A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
Crane, Frank
To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel. Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.
Thoreau, Henry David
That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
Quarles, Francis
Don't wait for people to be friendly, show them how.
We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for our ability to amuse them.
Waugh, Evelyn
Friendship is genuine when two friends can enjoy each others company without speaking a word to one another.
Ebers, George
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere.Before him, I may think aloud.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure.
Saying, Jewish
A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The most violent friendships soonest wear themselves out.
Hazlitt, William
Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache; do be my enemy for friendship's sake.
Blake, William
Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.
My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.
Gabirol, Ibn
Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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
A friend walks in when everyone else walks out
There is a scarcity of friendship, but not of friends.
Fuller, Thomas
It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Gandhi, Mahatma
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
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
La Fontaine, Jean De
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness...
Bach, Richard
When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.
Franklin, Miles
A Friend is a treasure. More precious than Gold, For love shared is priceless And never grows old.
Who seeks a faultless friend remains friendless.
Proverb, Turkish
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
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
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Francis De Sales, St.
If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
Fuller, Thomas
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.
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Glasgow, Arnold H.
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
If you have no enemies you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.
Hubbard, Elbert
I can't forgive my friends for dying; I don't find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Let your best be for your friend...
Gibran, Kahlil
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Santayana, George
Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend. All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.
Crowell, Grace Noll
Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.
Branagh, Kenneth
A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
Buscaglia, Leo
I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.
Johnson, Samuel
The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses.
Storey, David
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
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
To myself, personally, it brings nothing but increasing drudgery and daily loss of friends.
Jefferson, Thomas
Do not tell a friend anything you would conceal from an enemy.
Proverb, Arabian
