This is my beloved and this is my friend.

This is my wish for you: comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.

This made you first to know the why you liked, then after to apply that liking; and approach so one the tother, till either grew a portion of the other; each styled by his end, the copy of his friend.

This poison, that he cannot trust a friend.

Those deprived of such friends rejoice; those who have them pray to escape them.

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.

Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.

Those that want friends to open themselves unto are cannibals of their own hearts.

Those truly linked don’t need correspondence. When they meet again after many years apart, their friendship is as true as ever.

Those who forgets their friends to follow those of a higher status are truly snobs.

Thou wert my guide, philosopher and friend.

Though friendship is not quick to burn, it is explosive stuff.

Though we drifted apart in distance i still think of you as being right here. And although we have many new friends, it is our friendship that means the most to me.

Though you are in your shining days, voices among the crowd and new friends busy with your praise, be not unkind or proud, but think about old friends the most....

Throughout its history, the international olympic committee has struggled to spread its ideal of fraternity, friendship, peace and universal understanding.

Thus much for thy assurance know; a hollow friend is but a hellish foe.

Thy books should, like thy friends, not many be, yet such wherein men may thy judgment see.

Thy friend has a friend, and thy friend's friend has a friend; be discreet.

Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache; do be my enemy for friendship's sake.

Time draweth wrinkles in a fair face, but addeth fresh colors to a fast friend.

Time keeps no measure when true friends are parted, no record day by day; the sands move not for those who, loyal-hearted, friendship's firm laws obey.

Time makes friendship stronger, but love weaker

'Tis great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults, greater to tell him his.

Tis hard to find a man of great estate, that can distinguish flatterers from friends.

'Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected.

To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.

To aim at excellence, our reputation, and friends, and all must be ventured; to aim at the average we run no risk and provide little service.

To all of our friends in irish-america and beyond, we owe an enormous debt of gratitude. Whenever we needed your friendship and encouragement, you were there for us.

To be capable of steady friendship and lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.

To be omnipotent but friendless is to reign.

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.

To desire the same things and to reject the same things, constitutes true friendship.

To fail is a natural consequence of trying, to succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.

To find a friend one must close one eye -- to keep him, two.

To friendship every burden's light.

To get a hold on boys you must be their friend

To give counsel as well as to take it is a feature of true friendship.

To give him that determines the quality of friendship.

To god, thy country, and thy friend be true.
