He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
True friends stab you in the front. ~Oscar Wilde
Strangers are just friends waiting to happen. ~Rod McKuen, Looking for a Friend (Thank you, Carolyn.)
It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help. ~Epicurus
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen
Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need most. ~American Proverb
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship. ~William Blake
The tender friendships one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere buried. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Southern Mail, 1929, translated from French by Curtis Cate
A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart. ~Attributed to Heather Pryor
We are each the star of our own situation comedy, and, with luck, the screwball friend in somebody else's. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com
But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
Friendship is a sheltering tree. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We are keenly aware of the faults of our friends, but if they like us enough it doesn't matter. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends. ~Shirley Maclaine
What do we ask of friendship except to be taken for what we pretend to be - and without having to pretend. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com
Friendship is Love, without his wings. ~Lord Byron, L'Amitié est l'Amour sans Ailes
But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859
A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably. ~William Penn
We are the captains of our own ships sailing the sea of life, but in times of a stormy weather, you will discover true friends when they don't hesitate to be a lighthouse. ~Dodinsky, www.dodinsky.com
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine. ~Thomas Jefferson
A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world. ~Lois Wyse
The best time to make friends is before you need them. ~Ethel Barrymore
I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing. ~Katherine Mansfield
A friend can tell you things you don't want to tell yourself. ~Frances Ward Weller
The strongest marriage is between two who seek the same God, the strongest friendship between two who flee the same devil. ~Robert Brault,www.robertbrault.com
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound. ~Diana Cortes
It is a good thing to be rich, and it is a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to be loved of many friends. ~Euripides
If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me. ~Author Unknown
A friend accepts us as we are yet helps us to be what we should. ~Author Unknown
The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away. ~Barbara Kingsolver
Probably no man ever had a friend that he did not dislike a little. ~E.W. Howe
There is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul. ~Edith Wharton
