Hubbard, Elbert

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.
Craik, Dinah Mulock

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

Riera, Dorothy

16.
Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures.
Seneca

17.
A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gal. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.
Lincoln, Abraham

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

27.
Without friends no one would choose to live.

28.
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

These can never be true friends: Hope, dice, a prostitute, a robber, a cheat, a goldsmith, a monkey, a doctor, a distiller.
Proverb, Indian

30.
To let friendship die away by negligence and silence is certainly not wise. It is voluntarily to throw away one of the greatest comforts of the weary pilgrimage.
Johnson, Samuel

31.
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

32.
Do not make best friends with a melancholy sad soul. They always are heavily loaded, and you must bear half.
FeNelon, Francois

33.
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
Gibran, Kahlil

34.
If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life -- if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.
Scott, Sir Walter

35.
Often, I look out the window and wait. I see her as she comes and goes, to visit with everyone-it seems but me. I know that sometimes I'm not as friendly as I should be. But I'm scared- that people won't like me. So I hide in my shell. And talk to know one. But still... I wish they would notice that I am here. I need them. Please, somebody talk to me. I need a friend.

36.
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

37.
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
Hsieh, Tehyi

38.
Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

I'm treating you as a friend asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future pluses
Mansfield, Katherine

40.
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.

41.
We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for our ability to amuse them.
Waugh, Evelyn

Your friendship is a glowing ember Through the year; and each December From its warm and living spark We kindle flame against the dark And with its shining radiance light Our tree of faith on Christmas night.
Lund, Thelma J.

43.
Ones oldest friend is the best.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

44.
Love demands infinitely less than friendship.
Nathan, George Jean

45.
A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
Buscaglia, Leo

46.
To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.
Sallust

47.
Old friends are the great blessings of one's later years. Half a word conveys one's meaning. They have a memory of the same events, have the same mode of thinking. I have young relations that may grow upon me, for my nature is affectionate, but can they grow [To Be] old friends?
Walpole, Horace

48.
The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.
Buddha

49.
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.
Larson, Doug

50.
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Augustine, St.
