Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

A good friend is my nearest relation.

Fuller, Thomas

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Friends show their love in times of trouble...

Euripides

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

Sallust

We will win the world when we realize that fellowship, not evangelism, must be our primary emphasis. When we demonstrate the Big Miracle of Love, it won't be necessary for us to go out -- they will come in.

Moody, Jess

It is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that proves them.

Proverb

Faithful friends are gifts from heaven: Whoever finds one has found a treasure.

A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.

Hoffer, Eric

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.

Friendship should be a responsibility, never an opportunity.

20.

Never exaggerate your faults, your friends will attend to that.

Edwards, Robert C.

21.

You can always tell a real friend; when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Peter, Laurence J.

22.

The real test of friendship is: Can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy together those moments of life that are utterly simple? They are the moments people looks back on at the end of life and number as their most sacred experiences.

Kennedy, Eugene

23.

There is no friend as loyal as a book

Hemingway, Ernest

24.

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

25.

I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred --that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt. If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without a remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.

Stowe, Harriet Beecher

26.

To myself, personally, it brings nothing but increasing drudgery and daily loss of friends.

Jefferson, Thomas

27.

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.

28.

Among Life's precious jewels, Genuine and rare, The one that we call friendship Has worth beyond compare.

29.

The good fellow to everyone is a good friend to no one.

Proverb, Jewish

30.

Good friends are good for your health.

Sarason, Irwin

31.

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

Alcott, Louisa May

32.

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

33.

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

34.

Love demands infinitely less than friendship.

Nathan, George Jean

Aristotle

44.

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

45.

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

46.

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

47.

Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.

Proverb, Sicilian

48.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Thoreau, Henry David

49.

Hold a true friend with both your hands.
