Telegram to a friend who had just become a mother after a prolonged pregnancy: Good work, Mary. We all knew you had it in you
Dorothy Parker
If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.
Proverb
Yes, know thyself: in great concerns or small,Be this thy care, for this, my friend, is all.
Juvenal
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
Bible
A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.
Isadora James
Christmas will always be in the hearts of God's children everywhere as they extend a helping hand to a friend in need ... as they go about reflecting God's goodness in the little quiet and unheralded expressions of a loving heart ... as they share the light of the world with those who live in darkness .
Jane Hillsmen
He who purposely cheats his friend, would cheat his God
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Fear is the outcome of weakness, a cowards friend, an enemy of firmness. Fear of death is the cause of all human fears. One who wins the fear of death wins himself. He is the one who wins the freedom. From his mental prison.
V.Prabhakaran
When I demanded of my friend what viands he preferred, He quoth, "A large cold bottle, and a small hot bird!"
Eugene Field
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful when your own self-love might impair your judgement.
Seneca
The skilful class of flatterers praise the discourse of an ignorant friend and the face of a deformed one.
Juvenal
To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel. Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.
Henry David Thoreau
