It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
-- Sir Edmund Hillary
False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.
Sir Richard Burton
Friendship Quotes
A friend is someone you can be alone with and have nothing to do and not be able to think of anything to say and be comfortable in the silence.
Sheryl Condie
Friendship Quotes
Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.
Dinah Mulock Craik
Friendship Quotes
To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.
Sarah Ellis
Friendship Quotes
Give me work to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble common sense. At the close of each day Give me a book And a friend with whom I can be silent.
S. M. Frazier
Friendship Quotes
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
Ulysses S. Grant
Friendship Quotes
There is an electricity about a friendship relationship. We are both more relaxed and more sensitive, more creative and more reflective, more energetic and more casual, more excited and more serene. It is as though when we come in contact with our friend we enter into a different environment. ANDREW M. GREELEY

Friendship Quotes
Your friendship is a glowing ember,
Through the year; and each December.
From its warm and living spark,
We kindle flame against the dark.
And with its shining radiance light,
Our tree of faith on Christmas night.
Thelma J. Lund
