THE MOST VALUABLE ANTIQUES ARE OLD FRIENDS

It is easy to say

how we love new friends,

and what we think of them,

but words can never

trace out all the fibers

that knit us to the old.

Make new friends

but keep the old,

Those are silver,

these are old..

SOMETIMES A FRIEND CAN HURT WORSE THAN AN ENEMY

The realization that friendship is greater than love doesn't come when you have real and honest friends around. You realize it when someone whom you have always thought of as a friend, back stabs you. When a friend breaks your trust it hurts more than a lover abandoning you and then you realize friendship is indeed greater than love...

PEOPLE ENJOY INFERIORITY OF BEST FRIENDS

Be friends with everybody. When you have friends you will know there is somebody who will stand by you. You know the old saying, that if you have a single enemy you will find him everywhere. It doesn’t pay to make enemies. Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to every one about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will live.

FRIENDS ARE GOD APOLOGY FOR RELATION

 

We learn our virtues from the friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.

THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE A FRIEND IS TO BE ONE

 

The way to make a true friend is to be one Friendship implies loyalty, esteem, cordiality, sympathy, affection, readiness to aid, to help, to stick, to fight for, if need be. The real friend is he or she who can share all our sorrows and double our joys Radiate friendship and it will return sevenfold.

THE LANGUAGE OF FRIENDSHIP IS NOT WORDS BUT MEANINGS

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

FRIENDSHIP IS ABOUT FINDING PEOPLE SAME LIKE YOU

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.

FRIENDS ARE CONNECTED HEART TO HEART

Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives,
and remembering what one receives.
A best friend is not just someone
who’s always there for you.
It’s someone who
understands you a bit more
than you understand yourself.

NOTHING IS BETTER THAN FRIENDSHIP

Sometimes being a friend

means mastering the art of timing.

There is a time for silence.

A time to let go,

and allow people to hurl themselves,

into their own destiny.

And a time to prepare

to pick up the pieces

when it’s all over.

A FRIENDSHIP THAT CAN NEVER REALLY BEGAN

There is a magnet in your heart

that will attract true friends.

That magnet is unselfishness,

thinking of others first;

when you learn to live for others,

they will live for you.
