Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.

Gabirol, Ibn

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

Separate from the pleasure of your company, I don't much care if I never see another mountain in my life.

Lamb, Charles

One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.

Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

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

If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life -- if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.

Scott, Sir Walter

Your friend is your needs answered.

Gibran, Kahlil

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Gibran, Kahlil

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

10.

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

11.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Buscaglia, Leo

12.

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

13.

I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.

Augustine, St.

14.

The time to make friends is before you need them.

Proverb

15.

Man strives for glory, honor, fame, so that all the world may know his name. Amasses wealth by brain and hand. Becomes a power in the land. But when he nears the end of life and looks back over the years of strife. He finds that happiness depends on none of these but love of friends.

16.

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

Barrymore, Ethel

17.

A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil -- but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small silly presents every so often -- just to save it from drying out completely

Brown, Pam

18.

... I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.

Fairbanks, Douglas

19.

Friends are like melons; shall I tell you why? To find one good you must one hundred try.

Mermet, Claude

20.

Friends and neighbors, the taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly; and from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by allowing abatement.

Franklin, Benjamin

21.

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

22.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Jerome, St.

23.

Who seeks a faultless friend remains friendless.

Proverb, Turkish

24.

The only way not to break a friendship is not to drop it.

Holz, Julie

25.

What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.

Cicero, Marcus T.

26.

Everybody needs one essential friend.

Glasser, Dr. William

27.

However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

28.

Do not make best friends with a melancholy sad soul. They always are heavily loaded, and you must bear half.

FeNelon, Francois

29.

Friendships are fragile things and require as much care in handling as any other fragile and precious thing.

Bourne, Randolph S.

30.

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

Richter, Jean Paul

31.

Keep out of the suction caused by those who drift backwards.

Piper, E. K.

32.

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

33.

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

34.

Show me a friend in need and I'll show you a pest.

Lewis, Joe E.

35.

Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

Gibran, Kahlil

36.

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

37.

Friendship is to be purchased only by friendship. A man may have authority over others, but he can never have their hearts but by giving his own.

Wilson, Thomas

38.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Walker, Alice

39.

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

O'Malley, Austin

40.

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

41.

An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.

Proverb, Spanish

42.

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

46.

Let your best be for your friend...

Gibran, Kahlil

47.

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

48.

Of all things which wisdom provides to make life entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

Epicurus

What is a friend? I will tell you it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.

La Fontaine, Jean De
