Friendship

There is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.

You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your 'friend s

Youth's longing misconceived inconsistency.Those whom I deemedChanged to my kin, the friends of whom I dreamed,Have aged and lost our old affinity:One has to change to stay akin to me.

The path of social advancement is, and must be, strewn with broken friendships.

There’s nothing worth the wear of winning,

No man who is not willing to help himself has any right to apply to his friends, or to the gods.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Think where man’s glory most begins and ends, And say my glory was I had such friends.

Gratitude takes three forms: a feeling in the heart, an expression in words and giving in return. Unknown Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence, a time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny and a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.

No man can be called friendless when he has God and the companionship of good books.

You can tell a real friend: when you’ve made a fool of yourself he doesn’t feel as though you’ve done a permanent job.

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

All love that has not friendship for its base, Is like a mansion built upon the sand.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

To my friends pictured within.

A crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.

But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good.

I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down...

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

The worst part of success is trying to find someone who is happy for you.

Ah yet, ere I descend to the grave May I a small house and large garden have; And a few friends, and many books, both true, Both wise, and both delightful too!

Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love: Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues; Let every eye negotiate for itself And trust no agent.

True friendship can exist only between equals.
