What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ah, how good it feels! The hand of an old friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There are big ships and small ships. But the best ship of all is friendship.
Author Unknown
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
William Shakespeare
Friendship's the wine of life.
Edward Young
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
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
I want to be your friend
For ever and ever without break or decay.
When the hills are all flat
And the rivers are all dry,
When it lightens and thunders in winter,
When it rains and snows in summer,
When Heaven and Earth mingle -
Not till then will I part from you.
Chinese 1st century AD, translated Arthur Waley
Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply.
Pam Brown
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Woodrow Wilson
Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.
John Evelyn
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test -
Time and change - are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.
For 'mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die,
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast-
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
Joseph Parry
We have been friends together
In sunshine and in shade.
Caroline Sheridan Norton

Quotes about Friendship
Friends are the sunshine of life.
John Hay
A joy shared is a joy doubled.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Mencius
A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
Leo Buscaglia
And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship
And he answered saying:
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
Kahlil Gibran
Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
Virginia Woolf
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
William Blake
Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.
Joseph Addison
Life is slippery. Here, take my hand.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all 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 with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
Charles Caleb Colton
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 with his friendship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.
Author Unknown
A faithful friend is the medicine of life.

Life quotes 3
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
A man’s dying is more a survivor’s affair than his own.
Thomas Mann
Death is to stop sinning suddenly.
Unknown author
The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
Albert Einstein
We should always have our boots on, and be ready to leave.
Montaigne
There is no cure for birth and death unless to enjoy the interval.
George Santayana
People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.
St. Augustine
I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.
Dawna Markova
Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
