Friends and friendship Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

1.
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
Disraeli, Benjamin

2.
It is not what you give your friend, but what you are willing to give him that determines the quality of friendship.
Thayer, Mary Dixon

3.
A friend you have to buy won't be worth what you pay for him.
Prentice, George D.

4.
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another. -
Budgell, Eustace

5.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
Lewis, C. S.

6.
Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate.
Pratt, David

7.
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Santayana, George

8.
It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

9.
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
O'Malley, Austin

10.
Friendship should be a responsibility, never an opportunity.

11.
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Augustine, St.

12.
Friendship is a sheltering tree.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

13.
Friendship is a precious gift. To give at Christmas time. A Cherished gift, a treasured gift that lasts through all time.

14.
One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.
Adams, Henry Brooks

15.
Verily, great grace may go with a little gift; and precious are all things that come from a friend.
Theocritus

16.
Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.
Brookner, Anita

17.
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle

18.
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
Euripides

19.
Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead. Do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead.
Cummins, Anna

20.
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)

21.
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
Randolf, G.

25.
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.

26.
And the joy of it all; when we count it all up; is found in the making of friends.

27.
Friends are like melons; shall I tell you why? To find one good you must one hundred try.
Mermet, Claude

28.
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

29.
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

30.
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.
Saying, Hasidic

31.
A Friend is a treasure. More precious than Gold, For love shared is priceless And never grows old.

32.
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

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

34.
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Walker, Alice

35.
Do not make best friends with a melancholy sad soul. They always are heavily loaded, and you must bear half.
FeNelon, Francois

36.
Friends are needed both for joy and for sorrow.
Paterson, Samuel

37.
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

38.
A friend loveth at all times. [Proverbs 17:17]
Bible

39.
It takes two people to ruin a perfectly good day. First a person who says something downright nasty about you, and second, a dear friend who makes sure you hear about it immediately.

40.
Life is nothing without friendship.
Cicero, Marcus T.

41.
A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. [Proverbs 27:19]
Bible

42.
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

43.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

44.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
Aristotle

45.
An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.
Proverb, Spanish

46.
Without friends no one would choose to live.
Aristotle

47.
Friendship is like a bank account. You can't continue to draw on it without making deposits.

48.
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

49.
How rare and wonderful is that flash of a moment when we realize we have discovered a friend.
Rothschild, William E.

50.
In a friend you find a second self.
Norton, Isabelle
