To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.
~ William Hazlitt The language of friendship is not words, but meanings. It is an intelligence about language.
~ Henry David Thoreau We only want that which is given naturally to all peoples of the world, to be masters of our own fate, not of others, and in cooperation and friendship with others.
~ Golda Meir For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.
~ Saint Teresa of Avila Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.
~ Abdul Baha, Paris Talks, p. 15 True friendship is never serene.
~ Marie de Rabutin-Chantal Do you know what friendship is... it is to be brother and sister; two souls which touch without mingling, two fingers on one hand.
~ Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Chapter 13 False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.
~ Richard Burton The steady discipline of intimate friendship with Jesus results in men becoming like Him.
~ Harry Emerson Fosdick The glory of friendship is not the outstreched 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.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
~ C. C. Colton We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over so in a series of kindness there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
~ Samuel Johnson
