Friends are helpful not only because they will listen to us, but because they will laugh at us; Through them we learn a little objectivity, a little modesty, a little courtesy; We learn the rules of life and become better players of the game - Will Durant
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one. - C.S. Lewis
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship. - C.S. Lewis
Humans feel deeply the suffering of their friends and allies and easily discount/dismiss the comparable experience of their enemies.
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere on the road to a happier life.
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
When you have good friends you've been around, every time they talk, you don't give them your full attention. You don't look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you're listening, half the time, you are ignoring them. - Matthew McConaughey
I desire to so conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me. - Abraham Lincoln
I distrust the wisdom if not the sincerity of friends who would hold my hands while my enemies stab me. - Abraham Lincoln
I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are. - Abraham Lincoln
If we have no friends, we have no pleasure; and if we have them, we are sure to lose them, and be doubly pained by the loss. - Abraham Lincoln
If you would win a man to your cause first convince him that you are his sincere friend. - Abraham Lincoln
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. - Abraham Lincoln
When I'm back in New York - and this is a terrible thing to complain about - I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I'd like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It's kind of like being in the Mafia. - Anthony Bourdain
