Being blinded in love and friendship is a common mistake.
~ Eraldo Banovac
Cherish simple things such as family, friends and love, because great things appear simple from far away. Place your simple things in the best light; there's enough sunshine for all of them
~ Val Uchendu
Love your friends with your eyes closed, but love your enemies with both eyes open.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
We can easily be depleted from life and if we are truly lucky, we have that one friend who can replenish our love and peace. In our moment of revival, we can use that surrogate strength to create more... May we continue to make more.
~ Karen A. Baquiran
In poverty, friends are few; in prosperity, acquaintances are numerous; in affluence, associates are countless.
Leave beauty marks in the lives of those you meet, not scars.
A flower takes a while to grow, but can die in an instant; this is how it is with trust.
Learn from acquaintances, and you are clever; from friends, and you are intelligent; from enemies, and you are shrewd; but learn from all, and you are wise.
A shrewd enemy will teach you more than a foolish friend.
Those who laugh with you when you laugh are acquaintances, those who cry with you when you cry are companions, and those who do both are friends.
Never set fire to a bridge while you are still crossing it.
It is a great joy to love and be loved.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Ask your friends for help if you need it. Asking for help can be costly if you don't have friends.
Sometimes being a friend is enough in its own right to inspire someone on to victory.
~ Stephen Richards
If you have no friends, invent one!
