Friendship Quotes

Quote

Friends are born, not made.
Henry Adams

Made, Friends, Born

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
Honore de Balzac

Nothing, Friend, Belief

There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Morning, Friend, Old

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.
George Santayana

Human, Friends, Race

It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.
Zora Neale Hurston

Morning, Live, Trying

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.
E. W. Howe

Friend, Him, Trouble

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
Samuel Pepys

Friends, Proud, Able

The best time to make friends is before you need them.
Ethel Barrymore

Time, Best, Friends

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
Francis Quarles

End, Continue, Begun

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Bruce Lee

Love, Fire, Pretty

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Orson Welles

Love, Alone, Live

Quote

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Khalil Gibran

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Marriage, Love, Makes

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Oscar Wilde

Love, Women, Men

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Ann Landers

Love, Good, Loyalty

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury

Intelligence, Love, Time

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.
Charles Caleb Colton

Love, Often, Ends

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.
John Wooden

Thankful, Good, Art

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.
Baltasar Gracian

Life, Good, True

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.
Thomas Jefferson

Peace, May, Wish

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Important, Self, Friends

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?
Thomas Jefferson

Why, Others, Another

Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.
C. S. Lewis

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.
Thomas Jefferson
