No man can be called friendless who has God and the companionship of good books.
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal, that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
Are you upset little friend? Have you been lying awake worrying? Well, don't worry...I'm here. The flood waters will recede, the famine will end, the sun will shine tomorrow, and I will always be here to take care of you.
A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
Time doesn't take away from friendship, nor does separation.
I don't suppose you have many friends. Neither do I. I don't trust people who say they have a lot of friends. It's a sure sign that they don't really know anyone.
I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each should stand guard over the solitude of the other.
In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.
I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.
It's not love or anything, but I think I like you, too.
Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.
I don't want to hurt you or anybody so please forget about me. Just try. Find yourself a better friend.
Cutting people out of your life is easy, keeping them in is hard.
There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.
My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.
A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement
However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.
No human relation gives one possession in another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.
