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.
Jim Morrison

My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend.
Rodney Dangerfield

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
Plautus

In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation; now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?
Charles de Gaulle

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
Leo Buscaglia

I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine

If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.
Saint Augustine

He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend; provided, of course, he really is dead.
Voltaire

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake

I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.
William Blake

When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend.
William Blake

A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.
Dwight L. Moody

The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
Plutarch

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

A mistress never is nor can be a friend. While you agree, you are lovers; and when it is over, anything but friends.
Lord Byron

The poor dog, in life the firmest friend. The first to welcome, foremost to defend.
Lord Byron

Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the United States into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of citizens on slight evidence.
Milton Friedman

I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.
Douglas MacArthur
