Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.
When people have light in themselves, it will shine out from them. Then we get to know each other as we walk together in the darkness, without needing to pass our hands over each other's faces, or to intrude into each other's hearts.
Because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you. . We got each other, that's what, that gives a hoot in hell about us. . .
If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
A companion loves some agreeable qualities which a man may possess, but a friend loves the man himself.
Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world.
Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
I have always felt that the great high privilege of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small - we haven't the time - and to see it takes time like to have a friend takes time.
Those you have followed passionately, gladly, zealously have made you feel like somebody. It wasn't merely because they had the job or the power--they somehow made you feel terrific to be around them.
The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.
Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
The best that we can do is to be kindly and helpful toward our friends and fellow passengers who are clinging to the same speck of dirt while we are drifting side by side to our common doom.
Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.
One evening at the home of Dorothy and Richard Rogers, dinner guests were happily and lengthily denigrating Clare Boothe. Her sole defender at the table was Ilka Chase, who protested that Clare was always loyal to her friends. Moreover, added Chase, Clare was always kind to her inferiors. "And where does she find them?" asked Dorothy [Parker], without looking up from her plate or missing a bite.
Bernard Shaw has no enemies but is intensely disliked by his friends.
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day.
The imaginary friends I had as a kid dropped me because their friends thought I didn't exist.
Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.
Friendship is a miracle by which a person consents to view from a certain distance, and without coming any nearer, the very being who is as necessary to him as food.
Friendship has something universal about it. It consists of loving a human being as we should like to be able to love each soul in particular of all those who go to make up the human race.
There are two forms of friendship; meeting and separation. They are indissoluble. Both of them contain the same good, the unique good, which is friendship. For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation. As both forms contain the same good thing, they are both equally good.
We attract hearts by the qualities we display; we retain them by the qualities we possess.
It is never any good dwelling on goodbyes. It is not the being together that it prolongs, it is the parting.
A friend loveth at all times...
True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.
