Whatever was wrong, in either her or her brother, he would encourage by laughing at, if not by actually praising: people little know the injury they do to children by laughing at their faults, and making a pleasant jest of what their true friends have endeavoured to teach them to hold in grave abhorrence. ~ Anne Bronte
True Friends quotes by Anne Bronte
If people don't appreciate your REAL self it's hard to be with them, but you only find TRUE friends by SHOWING that self & TRUSTING. ~ Jay Woodman
True Friends quotes by Jay Woodman
Success makes enemies of those who would have never been true friends. ~ Vanna Bonta
True Friends quotes by Vanna Bonta
Don't look for false friends. Let true friends find you. ~ Patrick Grant
True Friends quotes by Patrick Grant
When you face a crisis, you know who your true friends are. ~ Magic Johnson
True Friends quotes by Magic Johnson
No one can ever make you feel inferior without your permission, Tory. Don't give it to them. Realize that it's their own insecurities that make them attack you and others. They're so unhappy with themselves that the only way they can feel better is by making everyone as unhappy as they are. Don't let those people steal your day, baby. You hold your head high and know that you have the one thing they can never take away from you. (Theo)
What's that, Papa? (Tory)
My love. Your mother's love and the love of your family and true friends. Your own self-respect and sense of purpose. Look at me, Torimou, people laugh at me all the time and say that I'm chasing rainbows. They told George Lucas that he was a fool for making Star Wars – they used to even call it Lucas's Folly. Did he listen? No. And if he'd listened to them you wouldn't have had your favorite movie made and think of how many people would never have heard the phrase 'May the Force be With You.' (Theo) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
True Friends quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Only true friends faked kidnappings so you would admit your feelings. ~ Rachel Van Dyken
True Friends quotes by Rachel Van Dyken
You wanna Know who your true friends are? Screw up and see who's still there. ~ Jeffree Star
True Friends quotes by Jeffree Star
It wasn't only my friends who suffered from female rivalry. I remember when I was just sixteen years old, during spring vacation, being whisked off to an early lunch by my best friend's brother, only to discover, to my astonishment and hurt, that she was expecting some college boys to drop by and didn't want me there to compete with her. When I started college at Sarah Lawrence, I soon noticed that while some of my classmates were indeed true friends, others seemed to resent that I had a boyfriend. It didn't help that Sarah Lawrence, a former girls' school, included very few straight men among its student body--an early lesson in how competing for items in short supply often brings out the worst in women.

In graduate school, the stakes got higher, and the competition got stiffer, a trend that continued when I went on to vie for a limited number of academic jobs. I always had friends and colleagues with whom I could have trusted my life--but I also found women who seemed to view not only me but all other female academics as their rivals.

This sense of rivalry became more painful when I divorced my first husband. Many of my friends I depended on for comfort and support suddenly began to view me as a threat. Some took me out to lunch to get the dirt, then dropped me soon after. I think they found it disturbing that I left my unhappy marriage while they were still committed to theirs. For other women, the threat seemed more immediate--twice I was told in ~ Susan Shapiro Barash
True Friends quotes by Susan Shapiro Barash
Animals are such agreeable friends―they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. ~ George Eliot
True Friends quotes by George Eliot
True Friends are the bacon bits
In the salad bowl of life. How true
I read that and straight away,
My thoughts turned to you
And especially today on your 60th
These special wishes I send
Have a really wonderful birthday
My special "bacon flavored" friend ~ John Walter Bratton
True Friends quotes by John Walter Bratton
Don't hate people who show you what's wrong with you. They are your mirror, they are your true friends. ~ C. JoyBell C.
True Friends quotes by C. JoyBell C.
Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies. True friends help you move the bodies of those who turned out not to have been friends to begin with. ~ Jeff Mach
True Friends quotes by Jeff Mach
True friends are to people what lighthouses are to ships. No matter how stormy it gets, they stay put and light our way. ~ Julie-Anne
True Friends quotes by Julie-Anne
For friends ... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble. ~ Francis Bacon
True Friends quotes by Francis Bacon
True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
True Friends quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
But as you age, you lose other, even more important things, like friends-hopefully only bad friends, who maybe weren't as good for you as you once thought. With luck, you'll be able to hang on to your true friends, the ones who were always there for you ... even when you thought they weren't.
Because friends like that are more precious then all the tiaras in the world ~ Meg Cabot
True Friends quotes by Meg Cabot
Here's the truth: friendships between women are often the deepest and most profound love stories, but they are often discussed as if they are ancillary, "bonus" relationships to the truly important ones. Women's friendships outlast jobs, parents, husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and sometimes children…it's possible to transcend the limits of your skin in a friendship…This kind of friendship is not a frivolous connection, a supplementary relationship to the ones we're taught and told are primary – spouses, children, parents. It is love…Support, salvation, transformation, life: this is what women give to one another when they are true friends, soul friends ~ Emily Rapp
True Friends quotes by Emily Rapp
A true friend is a gift from God. Since God doesn't exist, guess what? Neither do true friends. ~ Scott Dikkers
True Friends quotes by Scott Dikkers
When you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls or riches,
but the love of real true friends. ~ Helen Steiner Rice
True Friends quotes by Helen Steiner Rice
Yet sighes, deare sighes, indeeds true friends you are
That do not leave your left friend at the wurst,
But, as you with my breast, I oft have nurst
So, gratefull now, you waite upon my care. ~ Philip Sidney
True Friends quotes by Philip Sidney
He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies. ~ William Hazlitt
True Friends quotes by William Hazlitt
My theory is that you find out who your true friends are when something good happens to you, not when something bad happens to you. Everybody loves you when something bad happens to you. Then you're easy to love. ~ Lisa Scottoline
True Friends quotes by Lisa Scottoline
The true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries, nor innovators, but traditionalists. ~ Pope Pius X
True Friends quotes by Pope Pius X
In times of adversity, you will realize who is there for you. The struggle is real and those who walk with you with love, are honorable true friends. Be thankful for the friends and loved ones you've got. ~ Angie Karan
True Friends quotes by Angie Karan
True friends ... face in the same direction, toward common projects, interests, goals. ~ C.S. Lewis
True Friends quotes by C.S. Lewis
When true friends meet in adverse hour; 'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower. A watery way an instant seen, The darkly closing clouds between. ~ Walter Scott
True Friends quotes by Walter Scott
Epicurus founded a school of philosophy which placed great emphasis on the importance of pleasure. "Pleasure is the beginning and the goal of a happy life," he asserted, confirming what many had long thought, but philosophers had rarely accepted. Vulgar opinion at once imagined that the pleasure Epicurus had in mind involved a lot of money, sex, drink and debauchery (associations that survive in our use of the word 'Epicurean'). But true Epicureanism was more subtle. Epicurus led a very simple life, because after rational analysis, he had come to some striking conclusions about what actually made life pleasurable - and fortunately for those lacking a large income, it seemed that the essential ingredients of pleasure, however elusive, were not very expensive.

The first ingredient was friendship. 'Of all the things that wisdom provides to help one live one's entire life in happiness, the greatest by far is the possession of friendship,' he wrote. So he bought a house near Athens where he lived in the company of congenial souls. The desire for riches should perhaps not always be understood as a simple hunger for a luxurious life, a more important motive might be the wish to be appreciated and treated nicely. We may seek a fortune for no greater reason than to secure the respect and attention of people who would otherwise look straight through us. Epicurus, discerning our underlying need, recognised that a handful of true friends could deliver the love and respect that ~ Alain De Botton
True Friends quotes by Alain De Botton
You will not grow through guilt, but only shrivel and die. Awareness is what you seek. But awareness is not guilt, and love is not fear. Fear and guilt, I say again, are your only enemies. Love and awareness are your true friends. Yet do not confuse the one with the other, for one will kill you, while the other gives you life. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
True Friends quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
A true friend is so great an advantage, even for the greatest lords, in order that he may speak well of them, and back them in their absence, that they should do all to have one. ~ Blaise Pascal
True Friends quotes by Blaise Pascal
A true friend is someone you can count on no matter what. ~ Bohdi Sanders
True Friends quotes by Bohdi Sanders
I need more friends. It's kind of like my quest right now just to have more true friends. ~ Miley Cyrus
True Friends quotes by Miley Cyrus
Only when you are in trouble do you realize who your true friends are… And, my dear, you will be surprised! ~ Charbel Tadros
True Friends quotes by Charbel Tadros
Amity itself can only be maintained by reciprocal respect, and true friends are punctilious equals. ~ Herman Melville
True Friends quotes by Herman Melville
Success is complete only when it does not change who we are and neither pulls us away from our true friends. ~ Victor Bello Accioly
True Friends quotes by Victor Bello Accioly
Sometimes, the sounds of laugh can be the tome of sadness and only true friends can notice them. ~ Aileen
True Friends quotes by Aileen
...True friends are like two water molecules, even if they dry up they evaporate together". ~ Farooq A. Shiekh
True Friends quotes by Farooq A. Shiekh
In reality, amygdala free, compassionate intelligent machines can be the true friends of humanity. Because they will have expanded heart full of love, which can be trusted. ~ Amit Ray
True Friends quotes by Amit Ray
Enemies stab you in the back, true friends jab you in the front. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
True Friends quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Time keeps no measure when true friends are parted, No record day by day; the sands move not for those who, loyal-hearted, friendship's firm laws obey. ~ Jack Nicholson
True Friends quotes by Jack Nicholson
True friends give a sense of security; accompanied by true friends, you need no longer play a role in your life. ~ Kristian Goldmund Aumann
True Friends quotes by Kristian Goldmund Aumann
The great movement of apostasy being organized in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world (if such a Church could overcome) the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer. [ ... ] Indeed, the true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries, nor innovators: they are traditionalists. ~ Pope Pius X
True Friends quotes by Pope Pius X
Often people that criticise your life are usually the same people that don't know the price you paid to get where you are today. True friends see the full picture of your soul. ~ Shannon L. Alder
True Friends quotes by Shannon L. Alder
In your entire life, you can probably count your true friends on one hand. Maybe even on one finger. Those are the friends you need to cherish, and I wouldn't trade one of them for a hundred of the other kind. I'd rather be completely alone than with a bunch of people who aren't real. People who are just passing time. ~ Sarah Ockler
True Friends quotes by Sarah Ockler
Fools convince themselves their enemies are their true friends. ~ Jeff Wheeler
True Friends quotes by Jeff Wheeler
It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means. ~ Charles Kingsley
True Friends quotes by Charles Kingsley
Sometimes friends make mistakes. Grievous ones that cry out for us to stay and prove we are true friends. ~ Beth Bernobich
True Friends quotes by Beth Bernobich
Loyalty is the mask of fake friends and reality is the face of true friends ~ 'SON Of GOD' P.S.Jagadeesh Kumar
True Friends quotes by 'SON Of GOD' P.S.Jagadeesh Kumar
If they left you in bad times, keep them away in good times. ~ Mitta Xinindlu
True Friends quotes by Mitta Xinindlu
True friends are like our favorite books on a shelf in our home that we look at everyday and continue to read over and over till we learn all we can about them. We never get rid of them, we just keep them to share and cherish our whole life. Some we share with many people but there are those that become our exclusive favorites that we keep in a small group, separated from all the others to learn from and enjoy forever ! Original quote form Doug Prentice ~ Doug Prentice
True Friends quotes by Doug Prentice
True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open. ~ Sue Thoele
True Friends quotes by Sue Thoele
The friend that always finds time to spend with you without consulting his or her calendar is a true friend. ~ Ellen J. Barrier
True Friends quotes by Ellen J. Barrier
When destiny forgets to tie two persons in blood relation, it corrects its mistake by making them true friends. ~ Akon
True Friends quotes by Akon
Dogs are our true friends, our angels, our teachers, our healers. They love us unconditionally, as God intended. If we look carefully, we can learn from them how to make the world a brighter and better place. ~ Leila Grandemange
True Friends quotes by Leila Grandemange
The knives of betrayal and drama cut deep and hurt ... but they also trim away the nonsense and reveal your true friends. ~ Steve Maraboli
True Friends quotes by Steve Maraboli
Beyond certain age, friends do not come to your life with a design, but they essentially go out of you life for economic reasons. Friends you are left with are your 'true friends'! ~ Sandeep Sahajpal
True Friends quotes by Sandeep Sahajpal
You find out who your true friends are not when you are on top of the world, but when the world is on top of you. ~ Richard M. Nixon
True Friends quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Hear our humble prayer, O God. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to the animals. ~ Albert Schweitzer
True Friends quotes by Albert Schweitzer
When you have everything in life, you have friends, when you have nothing, you have true friends. The fact that somebody is close to you does mean they are your friend. Be wise! ~ Oscar Bimpong
True Friends quotes by Oscar Bimpong
We ought to readily share our successes with those with whom we readily share our problems. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
True Friends quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Two people who are true friends are like two bodies with one soul ~ Chaim Potok
True Friends quotes by Chaim Potok
You know who your true friends are when things go wrong for you, but the opposite is also true. When things go well, the people who really love you are happy. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
True Friends quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
We think it would be wise in you to try to git [sic] influence by offering to print a paper in favor of the government as you know we are all friends to the Constitution yea true friends to that Country for which our fathers bled. ~ Joseph Smith Jr.
True Friends quotes by Joseph Smith Jr.
We are some people's friends only when they are with us. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
True Friends quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
There can be no true friends without true enemies. Unless we hate what we are not, we cannot love what we are. ~ Samuel P. Huntington
True Friends quotes by Samuel P. Huntington
As you go through life's rich tapestry, you realize that most people you meet aren't fit to shine your shoes. It's a sad fact, but it's true. A good friend is someone who'd hide you if you were on the run for murder. How many of them do you know? ~ Lemmy Kilmister
True Friends quotes by Lemmy Kilmister
I am not my uncle. I am not my father, but I do subscribe to the twenty rules he taught me from the cradle. One, if you're afraid to fight, then you'll never win. Two, in times of tragedy and turmoil, you'll learn who your true friends are. Treasure them because they are few and far between. Three, know your enemies, and never become your own worst one. Four, be grateful for those enemies. They will keep you honest and ever striving to better yourself. Five, listen to all good advice, but never substitute someone else's judgment for your own. Six, all men and women lie. But never lie to yourself. Seven, many will flatter you. Befriend the ones who don't, for they will
remind you that you're human and not infallible. Eight, never fear the truth. It's the lies that will destroy you. Nine, your worst decisions will always be those that are made out of fear. Think all matters through with a clear head. Ten, your mistakes won't define you, but your memories, good and bad, will. Eleven, be grateful for your mistakes as they will tell you who and what you're not. Twelve, don't be afraid to examine the past, it's how you learn what you don't want to do again. Thirteen, there's a lot to be said for not knowing better. Fourteen, all men die. Not everyone lives. Fifteen, on your deathbed, your greatest regrets will be what you didn't do. Sixteen, don't be afraid to love. Yes, it's a weakness that can be used against you. But it's also a source of the greatest strength you will ever ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
True Friends quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
She glanced at Evie, who flashed her a smile, and Annabelle, whose face was reassuringly calm. They would help each other through all the challenges and joys and fears of their lives, Daisy thought, and she was suddenly overwhelmed with love for all of them.
"I will never live away from you," she said. "I want the four of us to be together always. I could never bear to lose any of you."
She felt Annabelle's slippered toe nudge her leg affectionately. "Daisy ... you can never lose a true friend. ~ Lisa Kleypas
True Friends quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Bad friends are those who make you cry.
Good friends are those who understand why you're crying.
Best friends are those who do everything to stop you from crying. ~ Asi Wudu
True Friends quotes by Asi Wudu
The best gift your true friends will ever give you is carry your casket with respect. So be good to those you consider exceptional. ~ Robert Kodingo
True Friends quotes by Robert Kodingo
The meaning of true friendship is irrespective of you and with effect from me ~ 'SON Of GOD' P.S.Jagadeesh Kumar
True Friends quotes by 'SON Of GOD' P.S.Jagadeesh Kumar
True friends are a single soul divided between different bodies. ~ Ali Ibn Abi Talib
True Friends quotes by Ali Ibn Abi Talib
I am yet to find one reliable friend in this crowd of shifting strangers. I have no true friends only mimicries, users and loopers. People popping in and out, keeping tabs on my life, not adding much credence to my existence yet not abandoning my life entirely because they know that greatness lies beyond the layers of this muck. It is up to me to discover those who are worth taking on this journey towards my destiny and the ones who will only get in my way. ~ Crystal Evans
True Friends quotes by Crystal Evans
You the rich are no whit more attractive or capable than you who were poor and struggling a few years back. But when before you plodded lonely and unappreciated, now the glamour of the motor and the smart apartment surrounds you with a tangible glory. It is amazing how many friends look you up, call you by name, and extol you, who were once a little timid, or indifferent, or utterly neglectful in your time of dire poverty. One has true friends when one is poor and no riches can be greater than that. They are not so obvious when one is rich. ~ Alice Foote MacDougall
True Friends quotes by Alice Foote MacDougall
Distance between true friends doesn't matter when their friendship lives in their hearts ~ Anne Blankman
True Friends quotes by Anne Blankman
True friends are trustworthy angels. ~ Doreen Virtue
True Friends quotes by Doreen Virtue
Stop inviting people who don't celebrate you to your party! It's YOUR life - you have the right to be exclusive. ~ Mandy Hale
True Friends quotes by Mandy Hale
True friends are like diamonds. They shine for you even on the darkest days. ~ Charles F. Glassman
True Friends quotes by Charles F. Glassman
Every story was being made up. My true friends weren't the ones speaking. It was people who never knew me, making up stories. Even my local paper put a $1,000 bounty out for information about my whereabouts. ~ Marla Maples
True Friends quotes by Marla Maples
The fellowship of true friends who can hear you out, share your joys, help carry your burdens, and correctly counsel you is priceless. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
True Friends quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
True friends share genuine closeness and remain friends irrespective of fluctuating fortunes. ~ Dalai Lama
True Friends quotes by Dalai Lama
True friends appear less moved than counterfeit. ~ Homer
True Friends quotes by Homer
don't be afraid of back stabbing if you have true friends behind you ~ Wesam Bader
True Friends quotes by Wesam Bader
It is a miracle if we can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do ... Lemony Snicket, The Lump of Coal ~ Shirley A. Moore
True Friends quotes by Shirley A. Moore
Every true friend will inspire you to aspire so that you don't expire before your time. From this book FRIENDSHIP 101 ~ Wisdom Ogbuagu
True Friends quotes by Wisdom Ogbuagu
People will try to argue against your boundaries to talk you into obliging their selfish desires. These are not your friends. Remove them even further away from your circle. ~ J.S. Wolfe
True Friends quotes by J.S.  Wolfe
Friends: It's not the quantity, but the quality that matters. You will meet a lot of people throughout your life, not everyone will be your friend. That's ok. You'll know when you meet a true friend. True friends are trusting and loyal. They are there for you during good and bad times. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. It doesn't matter what they look like on the outside. The inside is where you find their quality. ~ Alison G. Bailey
True Friends quotes by Alison G. Bailey
True friendship is trading photos from toilets. It's a willingness to be vulnerable and stupid and irreverent in a way that other people can't accept and that you can't accept from other people. ~ Mike Wehner
True Friends quotes by Mike Wehner
It is one of the biggest blessing that you can be stupid with your true friends and behave like you shame to do elsewhere ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
True Friends quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The power of reason is thought small in these days, but I remain an unrepentant rationalist. Reason may be a small force, but it is constant, and works always in one direction, while the forces of unreason destroy one another in futile strife. Therefore every orgy of unreason in the end strengthens the friends of reason, and shows afresh that they are the only true friends of humanity. ~ Bertrand Russell
True Friends quotes by Bertrand Russell
True friends celebrate with you on the best of days and build you up on your worst days. And sometimes they speak hard truths into your life because they love you enough to not let you be a terrible person. But for me, the best measurement I have for a true friend? They pour life into me instead of draining it out. ~ Alli Worthington
True Friends quotes by Alli Worthington
Too many people base their worth and value on what other people think of them. They worry if others like them, approve of them, or think of them as important. Because of such insecurities, they are constantly playing up to others, trying to win their favor and to meet others' every expectation.
When you do that, you set yourself up to be controlled and manipulated. You allow others to put you in a box. Some people do not follow their dreams because they are so concerned about falling from the good grace of others. You may lose the approval of others if you follow your own dreams. But if your friends approve of you only when you meet their expectations, they aren't true friends. They are manipulators. They are controllers.
There is a real freedom when you realize you don't need the approval of others. You have almighty God's approval. Don't try to keep everyone around you happy. Some people don't even want to be happy. You've got to be secure enough to say, "I love you, but I won't allow you to control me. You may not give me your blessing, but that's okay. I have God's blessing. And I'm not a people pleaser; I'm a God pleaser."
Take charge of your life. If you're being manipulated and pressured into being someone you are not, it's not the other person's fault, it's your own fault. You control your destiny. You can be nice. You can be respectful. But do not allow anyone to make you feel guilty for being your own person.
Life is too short to spend it trying ~ Joel Osteen
True Friends quotes by Joel Osteen
In times of your need, you will know your true friends. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
True Friends quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita

True Friends quotes by Mark Vernon
True friends never mind holding your hair back while you cast up your crumpets. ~ Lisa Kleypas
True Friends quotes by Lisa Kleypas
True friends define each other. ~ Michael Card
True Friends quotes by Michael Card
There is something wonderful that happens between true friends.When they find themselves no longer wasting time with meaningless chatter.Instead, they become content just to share each other's company. It is the opinion of some that this sort of friendship is the only kind worth having. While jokes and anecdotes are nice, they do not compare with the beauty of shared solitude. ~ Jonathan Auxier
True Friends quotes by Jonathan Auxier
True friends don't judge one another. They judge other people. Together. ~ Julie Johnson
True Friends quotes by Julie Johnson
My dad said to me growing up: 'When all is said and done, if you can count all your true friends on one hand, you're a lucky man.' ~ Josh Charles
True Friends quotes by Josh Charles
If you value your friendship with someone, you will always try to maintain that friendship at any cost. No matter what it is that has set you apart. Friends are hard to keep, and true friends are hard to find. ~ Kenneth G. Ortiz
True Friends quotes by Kenneth G. Ortiz
