Friends Quotes
Friends quotes, at times, may give us a glimpse of insight into friendship. Whatever, they are always good to read at least once! Friends quotes by author-names starting with A Abraham Lincoln: Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them? Albert Camus: 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.

Anna Garlin Spencer: 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. Aristotle: What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies. Audre Lorde: The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.

Charles Caleb Colton: Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship-never. Charles Caleb Colton: We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them. Confucius: I do not want a friend who smiles when I smile, who weeps when I weep, for my shadow in the pool can do better than that. Cornelia Otis Skinner: To cement a new friendship, especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world, a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person, and cut across the accidents of place and time. C.S. Lewis: Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities. C.S. Lewis: Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one!'
