Friendship Quotes

“When the first time of love is over, there comes a something better still.

It is only needful to place yourself so that if it may come, and then it comes of itself. And then everything turns and changes itself to the best.”

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”

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

“Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.”

“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.”

“Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.”

“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you”

“No love, no friendship, can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.”

“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.”

“The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.”

“We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.”
