Friendship

IF BOOKS ARE NOT GOOD COMPANY, WHERE WILL I FIND IT?

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

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.

A FRIEND IS ONE TO WHOM ONE MAY POUR OUT THE CONTENTS OF ONE’S HEART, CHAFF AND GRAIN TOGETHER, KNOWING THAT GENTLE HANDS WILL TAKE AND SIFT IT.

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

I CHOOSE MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR GOOD LOOKS, MY ACQUAINTANCES FOR THEIR GOOD CHARACTERS, AND MY ENEMIES FOR THEIR GOOD INTELLECTS.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

’TIS THE PRIVILEGE OF FRIENDSHIP TO TALK NONSENSE, AND TO HAVE HER NONSENSE RESPECTED.

A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends.

Friendship is a sheltering tree.

Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache: Do be my enemy – for friendship’s sake.

WE MAKE OUR FRIENDS, WE MAKE OUR ENEMIES; BUT GOD MAKES OUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOUR.

HE’S MY FRIEND THAT SPEAKS WELL OF ME BEHIND MY BACK.

EACH FRIEND REPRESENTS A WORLD IN US, A WORLD POSSIBLY NOT BORN UNTIL THEY ARRIVE.

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...

Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything.

It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanisms of friendship.

Have no friends not equal to yourself.

Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

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.

Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.

Loyalty is still the same, Whether it win or lose the game; True as a dial to the sun, Although it be not shined upon.
