Friendship Quotes
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
He who loses money, loses much;
He how loses a friend, loses much more;
He who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others;
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me... You brought another friend...
and we started our group... our circle of friends...
and like a circle... there is no beginning or end.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.

Friends are the sunshine of life.
John Hay
A joy shared is a joy doubled.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Friendship is one mind in two bodies. Unknown Friends are the siblings God never gave us.
Mencius
A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
Leo Buscaglia
And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship
And he answered saying:
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
Kahlil Gibran
Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
Virginia Woolf
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
William Blake
Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.
Joseph Addison
Life is slippery. Here, take my hand.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
Charles Caleb Colton
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.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.
Author Unknown
A faithful friend is the medicine of life.
The Bible, Ecclesiasticus 6. 16
What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.

Ah, how good it feels! The hand of an old friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There are big ships and small ships. But the best ship of all is friendship.

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.
Albert Camus
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
William Shakespeare
Friendship's the wine of life.
Edward Young
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.
Author Unknown
I want to be your friend
For ever and ever without break or decay.
When the hills are all flat
And the rivers are all dry,
When it lightens and thunders in winter,
When it rains and snows in summer,
When Heaven and Earth mingle -
Not till then will I part from you.
Chinese 1st century AD, translated Arthur Waley
Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply.
Pam Brown
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Woodrow Wilson
Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.
John Evelyn
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test -
Time and change - are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.
For 'mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die,
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast-
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
Joseph Parry
We have been friends together
In sunshine and in shade.
Caroline Sheridan Norton
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art . . . It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis
Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.
Cicero
There's nothing more precious in this world than the feeling of being wanted.
Diana Dors
Life is nothing without friendship.
Cicero
Love is like the wild rose-briar;
Friendship like the holly-tree.
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms,
But which will bloom most constantly?
Emily Bronte
Hold a true friend with both your hands.

Friendship Quotes - Famous Friendship Quotes, Sayings, Quotations
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
No man is useless while he has a friend.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.
It's the friends you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that really matter.
A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.
Friends, companions, lovers, are those who treat us in terms of our unlimited worth to ourselves. They are closest to us who best understand what life means to us, who feel for us as we feel for ourselves, who are bound to us in triumph and disaster, who break the spell of our loneliness.
Friendship, on the other hand, serves a great host of different purposes all at the same time. In whatever direction you turn, it still remains yours. No barrier can shut it out. It can never be untimely; it can never be in the way. We need friendship all the time, just as much as we need the proverbial prime necessities of life, fire and water.
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.
I love you not only for who you are, but for what you are when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but what you are making of me.
I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy.
You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign.
You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all.
I want someone to laugh with me, someone to be grave with me, someone to please me and help my discrimination with his or her own remark, and at times, no doubt, to admire my acuteness and penetration.
It is that my friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges, and enabled me to walk serene and happy in the shadow cast by my deprivation.
Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are right.
There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be penned up in straight and narrow enclosures. It will speak freely, and act so too; and take nothing ill where no ill is meant; nay, where it is, 'twill easily forgive, and forget too, upon small acknowledgements.
Friends are true twins in soul; they sympathise in everything.
One is not happy without the other, nor can either of them be miserable alone. As if they could change bodies, they take in turns in pain as well as in pleasure; relieving one another in their most adverse conditions.
There is nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
True friends stab you in the front.
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe unto him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
Whatever you are it is your own friends who make your world.
William James
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay.
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as
the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
A friend loveth at all times.
