Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.
Quote by -Rumi
“These are the things which might conceivably and truly make men forgive their enemies. We can only turn hate to love by understanding what are the things that men have loved; nor is it necessary to ask men to hate their loves in order to love one another. Just as two grocers are most likely to be reconciled when they remember for a moment that they are two fathers, so two nationals are most likely to be reconciled when they remember (if only for a moment) that they are two patriots.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“A queer and almost mad notion seems to have got into the modern head that, if you mix up everybody and everything more or less anyhow, the mixture may be called unity, and the unity may be called peace. It is supposed that, if you break down all doors and walls so that there is no domesticity, there will then be nothing but friendship. Surely somebody must have noticed by this time that the men living in a hotel quarrel at least as often as the men living in a street.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“It is not merely true that a creed unites men. Nay, a difference of creed unites men – so long as it is a clear difference. A boundary unites. Many a magnanimous Moslem and chivalrous Crusader must have been nearer to each other, because they were both dogmatists, than any two agnostics. “I say God is One,” and “I say God is One but also Three,” that is the beginning of a good quarrelsome, manly friendship.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
For friendship implies individuality; whereas comradeship really implies the temporary subordination, if not the temporary swamping of individuality. Friends are the better for being two; but comrades are the better for being two million.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Friends are generally of the same sex, for when men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions, their reasons are always different.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends : have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.”
Quote by -George Santayana
“Anybody can be with you when you’re right, but only friends are with you when you mess up.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“In our weeks of talk, movies and friendship, I watched as Wilma turned a medical ordeal into one more event in her life, but not its definition. I believe she was teaching me an intimate form of The Way. In her words: "Every day is a good day - because we are part of everything alive.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
Quote by -Charlie Chaplin
I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.
Quote by -Charlie Chaplin
We walk alone in the world. Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Solitude, the safeguard of mediocrity, is to genius the stern friend.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
I hate the prostitution of the name of friendship to signify modish and worldly alliances.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere, whether it is holding out a hand of friendship, or making clear that you disapprove of something, is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being, so the goal is to always establish common ground.
Quote by -Madeleine Albright
My best artist friend is definitely Jason Aldean. He and I really get along great and are really great friends. It's fun to tour with a buddy and somebody that I just enjoy hanging out with. If we weren't touring together, we'd be hunting in the off-season still and knocking around doing stuff, certainly.
Quote by -Luke Bryan
"To let friendship die away by negligence and silence is certainly not wise. It is voluntarily to throw away one of the greatest comforts of the weary pilgrimage."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions"
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"Honest differences of opinion should never be permitted to destroy a friendship, he told me. "Haven't you learned that yet, Reuven?"
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"I was quite nervous about meeting William's father, but he was very, very welcoming, very friendly, it couldn't have gone easier really for me."
Quote by -Kate Middleton
"He nearly always put his hand on his friend's arm and looked for a second into his face before leaving him."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"I've been close to Dan and Kathryn for years and impressed by their financial ideas and philosophies. This new institute and release of their new program will allow them to achieve their dream of helping their fellow man as well as giving new hope to those in financial need."
Quote by -Denis Waitley
"I'm someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That's why I live very simply. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. I don't spend much time fixing myself up or trying to look cool. I live like a normal person and even though I'm in a very high-profile business, I really don't let it affect the way I live."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
"I'm someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That's why I live very simply."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
"My best friend is the most important girl, outside of family, to me. I met her when I went to college and we bonded immediately. I'd do anything for her at any time. We phone each other every day."
