Friendship Quotes

“My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.”

“In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.”

“Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.”

“True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open.”

“True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.”

“You the rich are no whit more attractive or capable than you who were poor and struggling a few years back. But when before you plodded lonely and unappreciated, now the glamour of the motor and the smart apartment surrounds you with a tangible glory. It is amazing how many friends look you up, call you by name, and extol you, who were once a little timid, or indifferent, or utterly neglectful in your time of dire poverty. One has true friends when one is poor and no riches can be greater than that. They are not so obvious when one is rich.”

“When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.”

“A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.”

“Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.”

“The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.”

“In friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures.”

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.”

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”

“If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.”

“A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.”

“Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.”

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”

“A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.”

“You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.”

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.”

“It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.”

“I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.”
