Women give nothing to friendship except what they borrow from love. Seneca quotes The beauty of enmity is insecurity; the beauty of friendship is in security. Robert Frost quotes The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne. Samuel Johnson quotes The great effect of friendship is beneficence, yet by the first act of uncommon kindness it is endangered. Samuel Johnson quotes The longer we live, and the more we think, the higher value we learn to put on the friendship and tenderness of parents and friends. Parents we can have but once; and he promises himself too much, who enters life with the expectation of finding many friends. Samuel Johnson quotes The most fatal disease of friendship is gradual decay, or dislike hourly increased by causes too slender for complaint, and too numerous for removal. Samuel Johnson quotes To those who have lived long together, everything heard and everything seen recalls some pleasure communicated, some benefit conferred, some petty quarrel or some slight endearment. Esteem of great powers, or amiable qualities newly discovered may embroider a day or a week, but a friendship of twenty years is interwoven with the texture of life. Samuel Johnson quotes Friendship is a sheltering tree. Samuel Taylor Coleridge quotes Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment. Seneca quotes Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you. Samuel Johnson quotes |
