Sorrow shared is halved and joy shared is doubled. Native American Proverb
That is the happiest conversation where there is no competition, no vanity, but a calm quiet interchange of sentiments. Samuel Johnson
Hold a true friend with both your hands. Nigerian Proverb
Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive one another's failings. Jean de la Fontaine
The better parts of one's life consists of one's friendships. Abraham Lincoln
Actions, not words, are the true criteria of the attachment of friends. George Washington
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship, it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship. Ralph Waldo Emerson
The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame. Charles C. Colton
There is nothing so great that I fear to do for my friend, nor nothing so small that I will disdain do it for him. Sir Phillip Sydney
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives and remembering what one receives. Alexandre Dumas
You can lay the foundation of friendship in a matter of moments, but it is a work of time to build a monument. Madelyn Watt
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed--as in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over. James Boswell
Keep company with good men and good men you will imitate. Chinese Proverb
Friendship: Gentle as the dew from the silken skies; radiant as some glorious diadem, set with countless stars. Yeoman Shield
True friends have no solitary joys or sorrows. Both are shared. In the hour of peace and gladness, what is our want? Friendship. When our hearts overflow with gratitude, what is our need? A friend. When distress haunts us and misery walks by our side, where do we turn? To friends. Friends to share, friends to bear.
When good friends walk beside us on the trails that we must keep,
Our burdens seem less heavy and the hills are not so steep.
The weary miles pass swiftly taken in a joyous stride,
And all the world seems brighter when friends walk by our side.
To have a friend is to have one of the sweetest gifts that life can bring; to be a friend is to have a solemn and tender education of soul from day to day. Amy Robertson Brown
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good,
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it by being yourself.
Perhaps that's what being a friend means,
After all. Roy Croft
A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together knowing that the gentlest hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. Arabian Proverb
The road to a friend's house is never long. Danish Proverb
