Sayings About Friendship

Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure.
Jewish Proverb

Hold a true friend with both your hands.
Nigerian Proverb

Friendship doubles our joy and divides our grief.
Swedish Proverb

Am I not destroying my enemies
when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln

Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.
Albert Camus

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

The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.
Anna Garlin Spencer

She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.
Toni Morrison

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
