It is a friend's duty that he does not leave his friend in a difficult position but provide intimacy and support to him. In difficulty who leaves is a false and the one not quitting is a true friend.

Mahaprajna

A friend is more concerned about helping people than getting credit. A friend cares. A friend loves. A friend listens. And a friend reaches out.

Thomas S. Monson

When a man feel the reprehension of a friend seconded by his own heart, he is easily heated into resentment.

Samuel Johnson

I don't know how much thought is behind it, but it seems to me highly effective the way that Facebook will let somebody tag a photo with a friend's name, then others who are a friend of that friend can perhaps immediately see the photo, and the friend, in the meantime, has a chance to wander back and un-tag it.

Jonathan Zittrain

Nothing influences people more than are commendation from a trusted friend.

Mark Zuckerberg

I need a new friend. I need a friend, period. Not a true friend, nothing close or share clothes or sleepover giggle giggle yak yak. Just a pseudo-friend, disposable friend. Friend as accessory. Just so I don't feel or look so stupid.

Laurie Halse Anderson

Of all sorts of flattery, that which comes from a solemn character and stands before a sermon is the worst-complexioned. Such commendation is a satire upon the author, makes the text look mercenary, and disables the discourse from doing service.

Jeremy Collier

TV deals in very broad strokes. Like, 'Oh, that's my dumb friend', or, 'That's my funny friend.' A true best friend, a sidekick, has to be a little deeper then that. You have to feel like there's nothing either character won't do. That someone really, really has their back.

Willie Garson

The friend who holds up before me the mirror, conceals not my smallest faults, warns me kindly, reproves me affectionately, when I have not performed my duty, he is my friend, however little he may appear so. But if a man praises and lauds me, never reproves me, overlooks my faults, and forgives them before I have repented, he is my enemy, however much he may appear my friend.

Johann Gottfried Herder

But here's the joy: my friend and I are one, Sweet flattery!

William Shakespeare

There are three kinds of friends in the world. An ordinary person sees only who you are; for that you don't need a friend. Then there's a friend who sees in you what you can be. And then there's the real holy Friend, and the presence of this Friend you are already.

Shlomo Carlebach

If you want a friend, you don't buy a friend, Eric, you earn a friend through love and trust and respect.

Richard Pryor

I've got a friend who's a builder, a friend in marketing, a friend who does furniture removals... It's good to stay grounded like that.

Alex Roe

Arbeloa said he was my friend, but I don't consider him my friend - maybe someone I know, but not my friend.

Gerard Pique

Probably the most neglected friend you have is you. And yet every man, before he can be a true friend to the world, must first become a friend to himself.
