It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
-- Sir Edmund Hillary
In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other's affairs, who 'come out' together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
Charles Caleb Colton
Friendship Quotes
Ceremony was but devised at first to set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes, recanting goodness, sorry ere 'Tis shown; but where there is true friendship, there needs none.
William Shakespeare
Friendship Quotes
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
Friendship Quotes
It takes an enemy and a friend, working together, to hurt you to the heart. The one to slander you, and the other to get the news to you.
Mark Twain
Friendship Quotes
I was angry with my friend I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.
William Blake
Friendship Quotes
Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends.
Cindy Lew
Friendship Quotes
Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things.
John Ruskin
Friendship Quotes
May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
Irish Blessing
Friendship Quotes
One of the characteristics of the dream is that nothing surprises us in it. With no regret, we agree to live in it with strangers, completely cut off from our habits and friends.
Jean Cocteau
Friendship Quotes
Friends and neighbors, the taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly; and from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by allowing abatement.
Benjamin Franklin
Friendship Quotes
A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.
Charles Kingsley
Friendship Quotes
It's a job -- someone's gotta do it. The reality is, Jennifer and I can do our job well because we truly are friends. But when the day's over, she goes home to her boyfriend and I go home to a magazine. [On what it's like kissing sex symbol Jennifer Aniston]
David Schwimmer
Friendship Quotes
Do not choose for your friends and familiar acquaintance those that are of an estate or quality too much above yours...You will hereby accustom yourselves to live after their rate in clothes, in habit, and in expenses, whereby you will learn a fashion and rank of life above your degree and estate, which will in the end be your undoing.
Matthew Hale
Friendship Quotes
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.
