Friendship

Snake wrap My friend is not perfect-no more am I.
And so we suit each other admirably.
Alexander Pope


My friend, why have you drifted so far away?
All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.
Anonymous
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams
with its illusions, aspirations, dreams!
Book of Beginnings, Story without End,
Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!
Longfellow

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
Buddha
Who gives to friends so much from Fate secures,
That is the only wealth for ever yours.
Martial

Give me one friend, just one, who meets
the needs of all my varying moods.
Esther M. Clark

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Bernard Meltzer

Be slow to fall into friendship;
but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
Socrates
Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.
James F. Byrnes
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 he discovers
that someone else believes in him
and is willing to trust him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold.
Anonymous
Here we part.
The solitary sail will attempt
a flight of a thousand miles,
The flowing clouds are the dreams
of a wandering son,
The setting sun, the affection of an old friend.
So you go, waving your hands.
Li Po

The happiest business in all the world is that of making friends,
and no investment on the street pays larger dividends,
for life is more than stocks and bonds, and love than rate percent,
and he who gives in friendship's name shall reap what he has spent.
Anonymous

Life is partly what we make it,
and partly what it is made
by the friends we choose.
Tehyi Hsieh
All that is not given is lost
Every friend is to the other a sun,
and a sunflower also.
He attracts and follows.
Richter

Music I heard with you was more than music.
Bread I broke with you was more than bread.
Conrad Aiken

A world without friends is like a wilderness.
The Jakatas
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Kahil Gibran

Friendship always benefits.
Love sometimes injures.
Seneca

A mere friend will agree with you, but a real friend will argue.
