Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Because our expression is imperfect we need friendship to fill up the imperfections.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
Quote by -Muhammad Ali
Friendship should be surrounded with ceremonies and respects, and not crushed into corners. Friendship requires more time than poor busy men can usually command.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
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 you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The other element of friendship is tenderness. We are holden to men by every sort of tie, by blood, by pride, by fear, by hope, by lucre, by lust, by hate, by admiration, by every circumstance and badge and trifle, but we can scarce believe that so much character can subsist in another as to draw us by love.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friends seem to be only mirrors to draw out and explain to us ourselves; and that which draws us nearer our fellow man, is, that the deep Heart in one, answers the deep Heart in another, — that we find we have (a common Nature) — one life which runs through all individuals, and which is indeed Divine.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The condition which high friendship demands is ability to do without it.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship demands a religious treatment. We talk of choosing our friends, but friends are self-elected. Reverence is a great part of it.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of friendship is entireness, a total magnanimity and trust.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship is for aid and comfort through all the relations and passages of life and death.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one,”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“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.”
Quote by -John Wooden
“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.”
Quote by -John Wooden
“Friendship is two-sided. It isn’t a friend just because someone’s doing something nice for you. That’s a nice person. There’s friendship when you do for each other. It’s like marriage – it’s two-sided.”
Quote by -John Wooden
When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.
Quote by -Hilaire Belloc
Let friendship creep gently to a height; if it rushes to it, it may soon run itself out of breath.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
"Keep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent"
Quote by -Robert Greene
“This is what I miss, Cordelia: not something that’s gone, but something that will never happen. Two old women giggling over their tea.”
Quote by -Margaret Atwood
“But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.”
Quote by -Thomas Jefferson
“I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post, which any human power can give.”
Quote by -Thomas Jefferson
“Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.”
Quote by -Thomas Jefferson
“I find friendship to be like wine, raw when new, ripened with age, the true old man’s milk and restorative cordial.”
Quote by -Thomas Jefferson
“Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.”
Quote by -Socrates
“True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.”
Quote by -George Washington Carver
“Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.”
Quote by -George Washington Carver
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”
Quote by -C.S. Lewis
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” – C.S. Lewis
