Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious. -
Saint Thomas Aquinas
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
Pearl S. Buck
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and siftthem, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
Dinah Maria Mulock Craik
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
Benjamin Disraeli
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
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures, for in the dew of little things, the heart finds its meaning and is refreshed.
Kahlil Gibran
The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone who thinks and feels with us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goeth
The friend of my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
Ulysses S. Grant
To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.
William Hazlitt
I am learning to live close to the lives of my friends without ever seeing them. No miles of any measurement can separate your soul from mine.
John Muir
Hold a true friend with both hands.
Nigerian Proverb
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais Nin
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
Sophocles
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Robert Lewis Stevenson
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.
Robert Southey
Friends...they cherish one another's hopes. they are kind to one another's dreams."
Henry David Thoreau
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay awhile and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever, the same.
Flavia Weedn
The hardest battle is to keep living; it is not our ability to adapt and survive but rather the lives and souls of those closest to us that will always make the battle worth fighting. ALWAYS.
