Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
If you have no enemies you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.
Hubbard, Elbert
A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
Buddha
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
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.
The most violent friendships soonest wear themselves out.
Hazlitt, William
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
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
The best time to make friends is before you need them.
Barrymore, Ethel
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
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Augustine, St.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care to acquire.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
Shakespeare, William
Two friendships in two breasts requires The same aversions and desires.
Swift, Jonathan
It's funny, isn't it? How your best friend can just blow up like that?
Python, Monty
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
Walton, Izaak
Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
Pepys, Samuel
With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.
Proverb, Chinese
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van
Your notions of friendship are new to me; I believe every man is born with his quantum, and he cannot give to one without robbing another. I very well know to whom I would give the first place in my friendship, but they are not in the way, I am condemned to another scene, and therefore I distribute it in pennyworths to those about me, and who displease me least, and should do the same to my fellow prisoners if I were condemned to a jail.
Swift, Jonathan
Friendships that have stood the test of time and chance are surely best, Brows may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendship never knows decay.
No one is rich enough to do without a neighbor.
Proverb, Danish
Friend -- One who knows all about you and likes you just the same
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer
The time to make friends is before you need them.
Proverb
Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures.
Seneca
The worst solitude is to have no real friendships.
Bacon, Francis
Friendship's the privilege of private men; for wretched greatness knows no blessing so substantial.
Tate, Nahum
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
Aristotle
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
There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Franklin, Benjamin
For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation.
Weil, Simone
Friendship is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over. So in a series of kindness there is, at last, one which makes the heart run over.
Boswell, James
Tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are.
Proverb, Russian
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
I desire to so conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
Lincoln, Abraham
Win new friends but keep the old. The first are silver; the latter gold.
The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest.
La Bruyere, Jean De
The mind is lowered through association with inferiors. With equals it attains equality; and with superiors, superiority.
Hitopadesa
Friends show their love in times of trouble...
Euripides
Show me a genuine case of platonic friendship, and I shall show you two old or homely faces.
O'Malley, Austin
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
Aristotle
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its grieves and anxieties.
Cicero, Marcus T.
For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required.
Proverb, Indian
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
Proverb, Sicilian
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Your friendship is your needs answered.
Proverb, Danish
