Friends


If out of all mankind one finds a single friend, he has found something more precious than any treasure, since there is nothing in the world so valuable that it can be compared to a real friend. - Andreas Capellanus

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults. - Charles Kingsley

In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends. - John Churton Collins

Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light. - Winston Churchill

The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for. - Homer

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 us with the reality of our powerlessness, that is the friend who cares. - Unknown

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you do not say. - Unknown

Good friends are like stars. You do not always see them, but you know they are always there. - Unknown

You can always tell a real friend: when you have made a fool of yourself he does not feel you have done a permanent job. - Unknown
