As Tennessee Williams once said “Friends are God’s way of apologizing to us for our families.” If that ain’t the truth, we don’t know what is. See below for DTD’s favorite quotes regarding friendship.
“My best friend is the man who in wishing me well, wishes it for my sake.”
Aristotle
“I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.”
Blaise Pascal
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
C.S. Lewis
“We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.”
Orson Welles
“There are only two people who tell you the truth about yourself—an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.”
Antisthenes Pinto
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too?”
C.S. Lewis
“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good times and bad. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. Love is content with the present; it hopes for the future and it doesn’t brood over the past. It is the day-in and out chronicles of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories and common goals. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that you lack. If you don’t have it, no matter what else is there, it isn’t enough.”
Ann Landers
“Friends are God’s way of apologizing to us for our families.”
Tennessee Williams
