Famous Sayings


One doesn't know, till one is a bit at odds with the world, how much one's friends who believe in one rather generously, mean to one.
D.H. Lawrence


Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
Virginia Woolf


It is the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.
Marlene Dietrich


Love is like the wild-rose briar;
Friendship is like the holly-tree.
The holly is dark when the rose briar blooms,
But which will bloom most constantly?
Emily Brontė


When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
Henri Nouwen


A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
William Penn


It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.
Douglas Pagels
