Motivational Quotes
Friends and friendship
Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.
Best Quotes about Friends and friendship
All things being equal, people will do business with a friend; all things being unequal, people will still do business with a friend.
Mccormack, Mark
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Meltzer, Bernard
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ.
Chambers, Oswald
To the query, What is a friend? his reply was A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle
Think where man's glory most begins and ends, And say my glory was I had such friends.
Yeats, William Butler
Give me work to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble common sense. At the close of each day Give me a book And a friend with whom I can be silent.
Frazier, S. M.
Love demands infinitely less than friendship.
Nathan, George Jean
Do not tell a friend anything you would conceal from an enemy.
Proverb, Arabian
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.
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
It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
Bennett, Arnold
Short judgments make long friends.
Proverb
What is a friend? I will tell you it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
Crane, Frank
Can miles truly separate us from friends? If we want to be with someone we love, aren't we already there?
Bach, Richard
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 unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
Lewis, C. S.
With true friends... even water drunk together is sweet enough.
Proverb, Chinese
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world.
Perry, Ralph B.
Instead of loving your enemies -- treat your friends a little better.
Howe, Edgar Watson
The gift of friendship is a wondrous thing with the joys and happiness good friends bring.
A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend, before he knows him.
Cervantes, Miguel De
I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
Brault, Robert
We know our friends by their defects rather than their merits.
Maugham, W. Somerset
To myself, personally, it brings nothing but increasing drudgery and daily loss of friends.
Jefferson, Thomas
A good friend is my nearest relation.
Fuller, Thomas
Build bridges instead of walls and you will have a friend.
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
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
Friends are like fiddle strings, they must not be screwed too tight.
Proverb, English
If a man urge me to tell wherefore I loved him, I feel it cannot be expressed but by answering: Because it was he, because it was myself.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Don't wait for people to be friendly, show them how.
It is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that proves them.
Proverb
And the joy of it all; when we count it all up; is found in the making of friends.
I don't like that man. I'm going to have to get to know him better.
Lincoln, Abraham
Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family --but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.
Cather, Willa
Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.
Owens, Jesse
Do not choose for your friends and familiar acquaintance those that are of an estate or quality too much above yours...You will hereby accustom yourselves to live after their rate in clothes, in habit, and in expenses, whereby you will learn a fashion and rank of life above your degree and estate, which will in the end be your undoing.
Hale, Matthew
Let your best be for your friend...
Gibran, Kahlil
The worst solitude is to have no real friendships.
Bacon, Francis
Every deed and every relationship is surrounded by an atmosphere of silence. Friendship needs no words -- it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
Hammarskjold, Dag
My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.
Iacocca, Lee
In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.
Dyke, Henry Van
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Walker, Alice
Friends are like melons; shall I tell you why? To find one good you must one hundred try.
Mermet, Claude
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
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
Jerome, St.
The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest.
La Bruyere, Jean De
The gift of friendship... a willingness to listen... a pair of helping hands... a whisper from the heart. That someone cares and understands.
We die as often as we lose a friend.
Syrus, Publilius
