Friendship

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.

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

Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures.

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.

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.

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

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

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

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.

Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives and remembering what one receives.

Friends are the sunshine of life.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success.

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.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.

It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

Love is when two people know everything about each other and are still friends.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
