It is a maxim of old that among themselves all things are common to friends.

Jean Racine

Friends don't have to have a lot of things in common. But there's one thing friends usually do have in common - a sense of humor. That doesn't mean they find all the same things funny. Sometimes, they might even laugh at each other. But at the end of the day, friends can always laugh with each other.

Pseudonymous Bosch

In proportion to the love existing among men, so will be the community of property and power. Among true and real friends, all is common; and, were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friends. The only perfect and genuine republic is that which comprehends every living being. Those distinctions which have been artificially set up, of nations, societies, families, and religions, are only general names, expressing the abhorrence and contempt with which men blindly consider their fellowmen.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Among true and real friends, all is common; and were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friend.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

I have noticed a common denominator among my smart and successful single friends, who tend to over-analyze and underestimate the opposite sex far more than their peers.

Lauren Iungerich

I'm known among my friends for saying things I probably shouldn't sometimes, but I have to get things out in the air.

Dawn French

A vice in common can be the ground of a friendship but not a virtue in common. X and Y may be friends because they are both drunkards or womanizers but, if they are both sober and chaste, they are friends for some other reason.

W. H. Auden

It is this law of love and its recognition as a rule of conduct in all our relations with friends, enemies and offenders which must inevitably bring about the complete transformation of the existing order of things, not only among Christian nations, but among all the peoples of the globe

Leo Tolstoy

Friends should have all things in common.

Plato

Wit is the rarest quality to be met with among people of education, and the most common among the uneducated.

William Hazlitt

Common sense varies among the young, as among the old.

John Edward Christopher Hill

Men live in a community in virtue of the things which they have in common; and communication is the way in which they come to possess things in common. What they must have in common in order to form a community or society are aims, beliefs, aspirations, knowledge - a common understanding - likemindedness as the sociologists say.

John Dewey

The Making of Friends Life is sweet because of the friends we have made And the things which in common we share; We want to live on, not because of ourselves, But because of the ones who would care. It's living and doing for somebody else On that all of life's splendor depends, And the joy of it all, when we count it all up, Is found in the making of friends.

Edgar Guest

This is a fault common to all singers, that among their friends they will never sing when they are asked; unasked, they will never desist.

Horace

There is a fault common to all singers. When they're among friends and are asked to sing they don't want to, and when they're not asked to sing they never stop.

Horace

At Ford Motor Company, we believe the arts speak a common language that weaves a common thread among all people.
