Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
Friendship's the privilege of private men; for wretched greatness knows no blessing so substantial.
Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
Watson, Thomas J.
Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.
Brookner, Anita
Win hearts, and you have hands and purses.
Burleigh, Lord
It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Gandhi, Mahatma
Broken friendships can be soldered, but never sound.
Proverb
I can't forgive my friends for dying; I don't find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
God gives us our relatives -- thank God we can choose our friends.
Mumford, Ethel Watts
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right.
Notebook
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
You have been my friends, replied Charlotte, that in itself is a tremendous thing...
White, Elwyn Brooks
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Mencius (Mengzi Meng-tse)
If you have no enemies you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.
Hubbard, Elbert
Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold.
I don't like that man. I'm going to have to get to know him better.
Lincoln, Abraham
A friend is someone who doesn't like the same people you do.
Proverb
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
Santayana, George
A friend is one who incessantly pays us the compliment of expecting from us all the virtues, and who can appreciate them in us. The friend asks no return but that his friend will religiously accept and wear and not disgrace his apotheosis of him. They cherish each other's hopes. They are kind to each other's dreams.
Thoreau, Henry David
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.
Twain, Mark
Never exaggerate your faults, your friends will attend to that.
Edwards, Robert C.
Never, my dear Sir, do you take it into your head that I do not love you; you may settle yourself in full confidence both of my love and my esteem; I love you as a kind man, I value you as a worthy man, and hope in time to reverence you as a man of exemplary piety.
Johnson, Samuel
Keep a fair-sized cemetery in your back yard, in which to bury the faults of your friends.
Beecher, Henry Ward
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
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. [Proverbs 18:24]
Bible
We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for our ability to amuse them.
Waugh, Evelyn
I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.
Aretino, Pietro
Do not make best friends with a melancholy sad soul. They always are heavily loaded, and you must bear half.
FeNelon, Francois
To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.
Sallust
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means you've become a comfortable, trusted element in another person's life.
Brothers, Dr. Joyce
Build bridges instead of walls and you will have a friend.
It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
Bennett, Arnold
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Byron, Lord
The only way not to break a friendship is not to drop it.
Holz, Julie
Your friend is your needs answered.
Gibran, Kahlil
Friendship is a priceless treasure never to be bought or sold -- it can only be cherished.
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.
Your friend is that man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
Hubbard, Elbert
Friendship is a precious gift. To give at Christmas time. A Cherished gift, a treasured gift that lasts through all time.
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
I have a friend who tells a tale With statements parenthetical; To start at the beginning must To her seem quite heretical; For her accounts of happenings Are full of disconnection s; She starts them in the middle, And proceeds in all directions.
Stux, Erica H.
He is a fine friend. He stabs you in the front.
Levinson, Leonard Louis
Make friends before you need them
Hopes are planted in friendship's garden where dreams blossom into priceless treasures.
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required.
Proverb, Indian
It takes two people to ruin a perfectly good day. First a person who says something downright nasty about you, and second, a dear friend who makes sure you hear about it immediately.
Money can't buy you friends; but you do get a better class of enemies.
White, Somers
A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
Crane, Frank
Often we have no time for our friends but all the time in the world for our enemies.
Uris, Leon
