Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
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.

Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
These can never be true friends: Hope, dice, a prostitute, a robber, a cheat, a goldsmith, a monkey, a doctor, a distiller.
Proverb, Indian
Hold a true friend with both your hands.
Proverb, Nigerian
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Aristotle
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Meltzer, Bernard
From quiet homes and first beginning, out to the undiscovered ends, there's nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
Belloc, Hilaire
The endearing elegance of female friendship.
Johnson, Samuel
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
Gracian, Baltasar
Money can't buy you friends; but you do get a better class of enemies.
White, Somers
There is a scarcity of friendship, but not of friends.
Fuller, Thomas
He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.
Joubert, Joseph
Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. 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
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.
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Santayana, George
True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.
Thoreau, Henry David
Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel that you've done a permanent job.
Randall, Erwin T.
With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.
Proverb, Chinese
The difficulty is not that great to die for a friend, the hard part is finding a friend worth dying for.
Home, Henry
That is what friendship means. Sharing the prejudice of experience.
Bukowski, Charles
True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.
Gentry, David Tyson
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Friendship is a very simple word, very commonly used. The word friend is almost used on a daily basis. Yet, the depth and meaning of friendship certainly go beyond the simple and the common. Throughout history friendship has been a favorite theme for many writers. The following passages highlight what others have said about friendship in the past.
Riera, Dorothy
You may poke a man's fire after you've known him for seven years.
Proverb, English
Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
Gracian, Baltasar
No young man starting in life could have better capital than plenty of friends. They will strengthen his credit, support him in every great effort, and make him what, unaided, he could never be. Friends of the right sort will help him more -- to be happy and successful -- than much money...
Marden, Orison Swett
My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
Butler, Samuel
Stay is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.
Alcott, Louisa May
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
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
La Fontaine, Jean De
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its grieves and anxieties.
Cicero, Marcus T.
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
Shaw, George Bernard
If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone; one should keep his friendships in constant repair.
Johnson, Samuel
There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please --that is, as they please or displease us.
Hazlitt, William
Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.
Addison, Joseph
I can't forgive my friends for dying; I don't find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.
Belloc, Hilaire
Short judgments make long friends.
Proverb
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Glasgow, Arnold H.
What is a friend? I will tell you it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
Crane, Frank
I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.
Wordsworth, William
Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
Strindberg, J. August
There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Franklin, Benjamin
I don't like that man. I'm going to have to get to know him better.
Lincoln, Abraham
The gift of friendship... a willingness to listen... a pair of helping hands... a whisper from the heart. That someone cares and understands.
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Let your best be for your friend...
Gibran, Kahlil
You have been my friends, replied Charlotte, that in itself is a tremendous thing...
White, Elwyn Brooks
Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.
Owens, Jesse
