Friendship Quotes
-
Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
Charles Caleb Colton
-
Friendships are different from all other relationships. Unlike acquaintanceship, friendship is based on love. Unlike lovers and married couples, it is free of jealousy. Unlike children and parents, it knows neither criticism nor resentment. Friendship has no status in law. Business partnerships are based on a contract. So is marriage. Parents are bound by law. But friendships are freely entered into, freely given, and freely exercised.
Stephen Ambrose
-
Friendship however is a plant which cannot be forced -- true friendship is no gourd spring up in a night and withering in a day.
Charlotte Bronte
-
Friends confront each other sometimes, and sometimes the friendship lasts, and sometimes it doesn't.
Brooke Elliott
-
[Friendship] is a relationship that has no formal shape, there are no rules or obligations or bonds as in marriage or the family, it is held together by neither law nor property nor blood, there is no glue in it but mutual liking. It is therefore rare.
Wallace Stegner
-
A friend should bear his friend's infirmities.
William Shakespeare
-
For money you can have everything it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money.
Arne Garborg
-
Some day the quest for friendship will replace the quest for material well-being that sooner or later will have been adequately provided for.
Elisee Reclus
-
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger.
William Shakespeare
-
Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.
Thomas Aquinas
-
Friendship maketh daylight in the understanding, out of darkness and confusion of thoughts.
Francis Bacon
-
It became very clear to the director that it would be foolish not to use our friendship. I had tried to talk to him about it because all the relationships in the film are so, not negative, but antagonistic. There's not a lot of love going around.
Jennifer Beals
