Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.

Seneca

Your friend is that man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Hubbard, Elbert

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

Schopenhauer, Arthur

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

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

Stay is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.

Alcott, Louisa May

To each one of us friendship has a different meaning. For all of us it is a gift. Friendship needs to be cherished and nurtured. It needs to be cultivated on a daily basis. Then shall it germinate and yield its fruit.

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

The time to make friends is before you need them.

Proverb

Friends show me what I can do, foes teach me what I should do.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

14.

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

15.

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

16.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Winchell, Walter

17.

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

18.

Don't wait for people to be friendly, show them how.

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

22.

Everybody needs one essential friend.

Glasser, Dr. William

23.

Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.

Richter, Jean Paul

24.

The difficulty is not that great to die for a friend, the hard part is finding a friend worth dying for.

Home, Henry

25.

Precious gifts of friendship... knowing the heart of another, sharing one's heart with another.

26.

Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.

La Fontaine, Jean De

27.

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

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

29.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Barrymore, Ethel

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.

It's funny, isn't it? How your best friend can just blow up like that?

Python, Monty

32.

Money can't buy you friends; but you do get a better class of enemies.

White, Somers

33.

That is what friendship means. Sharing the prejudice of experience.

Bukowski, Charles

34.

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

35.

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

O'Malley, Austin

36.

Your friendship is your needs answered.

Proverb, Danish

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

Wilson, Woodrow T.

38.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Gracian, Baltasar

39.

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

40.

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

41.

Friendship should be a private pleasure, not a public boast. I loathe those braggarts who are forever trying to invest themselves with importance by calling important people by their first names in or out of print. Such first-naming for effect makes me cringe.

Brown, John Mason

42.

Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache; do be my enemy for friendship's sake.

Blake, William

Proverb
