Always search for your innermost nature in those you are with, as rose oil imbibes from roses.
Love Him, and keep Him for thy Friend, who, when all go away, will not forsake thee, nor suffer thee to perish at the last.
You take me in, no questions asked. You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me. Are you an angel?
If you want to make a dangerous man your friend, let him do you a favor.
Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life--and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.
Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them.
Oh, sometimes I think it is of no use to make friends. They only go out of your life after awhile and leave a hurt that is worse than the emptiness before they came.
If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them, I'd be at the bottom to catch them. Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.
Friendship lives on its income, love devours its capital.
I think my greatest talent really is for friendship.
While friendship has been by far the chief source of my happiness, acquaintance or general society has always meant little to me, and I cannot quite understand why a man should wish to know more people than he can make real friends of.
I lose faith and I lose ground, but then I see you and remember unconditional love.
I suppose while we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil; and while he has left us, others are coming into the world at the same time, and probably in this our territory. There is a continuous change, an ingress of beings into the world and an egress out of it.
When I heard Elvis Presley, then I knew I had to do music. Music is my god, and is the only love that has never left me. It has always been there and is my best friend.
It's the pointless things that give your life meaning. Friendship, compassion, art, love. All of them pointless. But they're what keeps life from being meaningless.
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Dogs never lie about love.
Surround yourself with love, not friends.
