When I stopped viewing girls as potential girlfriends and started treating them as sisters in Christ, I discovered the richness of true friendship. When I stopped worrying about who I was going to marry and began to trust God's timing, I uncovered the incredible potential of serving God as a single. . . .

I believe the time has come for Christians, male and female, to own up to the mess we've left behind in our selfish pursuit of short-term romance. Dating may seem an innocent game, but as I see it, we are sinning against each other. What excuse will we have when God asks us to account for our actions and attitudes in relationships? If God sees a sparrow fall (Matthew 10:29), do you think He could possibly overlook the broken hearts and scarred emotions we cause in relationships based on selfishness?

Everyone around us may be playing the dating game. But at the end of our lives, we won't answer to everyone. We'll answer to God. . . .

Long before Seventeen magazine ever gave teenagers tips on dating, people did things very differently.

At the turn of the twentieth century, a guy and girl became romantically involved only if they planned to marry. If a young man spent time at a girl's home, family and friends assumed that he intended to propose to her. But shifting attitudes in culture and the arrival of the automobile brought radical changes. The new "rules" allowed people to indulge in all the thrills of romantic love without having ~ Joshua Harris
True Friendship quotes by Joshua Harris
What our closest friends do for us is to teach us true selflessness. We learn that while it might be safer for them if we keep them out, true friendship means letting them in. We cannot decide for them what they are willing to suffer with us and for us. While we certainly don't want to see our friends suffer, friendship isn't about protecting each other from pain so much as it is about helping each other to become what God has called us to be. ~ Mark Mossa
True Friendship quotes by Mark Mossa
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to appellation. ~ George Washington
True Friendship quotes by George Washington
One of the tasks of true friendship is to listen compassionately and creatively to the hidden silences. Often secrets are not revealed in words, they lie concealed in the silence between the words or in the depth of what is unsayable between two people. ~ John O'Donohue
True Friendship quotes by John O'Donohue
True friendship is when you are able to build walls of protection around your friends by dismissing every back biting towards them. ~ Euginia Herlihy
True Friendship quotes by Euginia Herlihy
I chase and suffer solitude so I might finally experience a true friendship. ~ La Olson
True Friendship quotes by La Olson
We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship. ~ C.S. Lewis
True Friendship quotes by C.S. Lewis
Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer. ~ Jean De La Fontaine
True Friendship quotes by Jean De La Fontaine
The lust and attraction are often a given in a romance novel - I want to dig into the elements of true friendship that form a foundation for a solid, gonna-last-forever romantic relationship. ~ Suzanne Brockmann
True Friendship quotes by Suzanne Brockmann
The late Curt Cobain captured the attitude of today's culture with the line, "Here we are; now entertain us." I believe that, unfortunately, many Christians have made Cobain's line the refrain of their friendships.
In my opinion, our cultural obsession with entertainment is really just an expression of selfishness. The focus in entertainment is not producing something useful for the benefit of others but consuming something for the pleasure of self. And a friendship based on this self-serving, pleasure-seeking mind-set can easily slip into a similarly self-serving romantic relationship that meets the needs of the moment.
But when we shift our relationship orientation from entertainment to service, our friendships move from a focus on ourselves to a focus on the people we can serve. And here's the punch line: In service we find true friendship. In service we can know our friends in a deeper way than ever before. ~ Joshua Harris
True Friendship quotes by Joshua Harris
One man has one great true thing in his life. One great good thing that is true! ~ Tennessee Williams
True Friendship quotes by Tennessee Williams
Emily, Megan, Jack, Luna, Patrick ... they helped me learn what true friendship is. It's never perfect, but it is important. ~ Sarah Ockler
True Friendship quotes by Sarah Ockler
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 Friendship quotes by C. JoyBell C.
We may never be able to pay directly for the gifts of true friendship - but pay we must, even though we make our payment to someone who owes us nothing, in some other place and at some other time. ~ Yousuf Karsh
True Friendship quotes by Yousuf Karsh
Agreement in likes and dislikes- this, and this only, is what constitutes true friendship. ~ Catiline
True Friendship quotes by Catiline
May I a small house and large garden have;
And a few friends,
And many books, both true. ~ Abraham Cowley
True Friendship quotes by Abraham Cowley
Religion consists much in holy affection; but those exercises of affection which are most distinguishing of true religion are these practical exercises. Friendship between earthly friends consists much in affection; but those strong exercises of affection that actually carry them through fire and water for each other are the highest evidences of true friendship. ~ Jonathan Edwards
True Friendship quotes by Jonathan Edwards
The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses. ~ David Storey
True Friendship quotes by David Storey
Living in the past is always a bad idea; yet, on some level I believe the ones we love, even though not part of our present, are the very definition of who we are, the driving force of what we aspire to be, and at the end of the day, the past we must look to in order to improve who we will become. After all, we do not learn from what has not happened, but what has been, and what we will choose to keep or leave behind. Friendship, true friendship is never blind, but it holds the value of forgiveness - separating what we may or may have not done within the realm of mistakes....seeking the outcome of making us into better people. ~ Tony C. Skye
True Friendship quotes by Tony C. Skye
All moral relationships are indissoluble according to their concept, as one can easily convince one's self by postulating their truth. A true state, a true marriage, a true friendship, and indissoluble. But no state, no marriage, no friendship corresponds completely to its concept... (Karl Marx) ~ Eugene Kamenka
True Friendship quotes by Eugene Kamenka
But they were all full of surprises, he had come to learn. When they were young, they had only their secrets to give one another: confessions were currency, and divulgences were a form of intimacy. Withholding the details of your life from your friends was considered first a sort of mystery and then a kind of stinginess, one that it was understood would preclude true friendship. ~ Hanya Yanagihara
True Friendship quotes by Hanya Yanagihara
An honest answer is the sign of true friendship. ~ E.W. Howe
True Friendship quotes by E.W. Howe
True friendship is not burdened by anything. ~ Eraldo Banovac
True Friendship quotes by Eraldo Banovac
Friendship, true friendship is a curious dance. Why does one recognize and embrace one soul and yet not another. What is that? That something unspoken. Perhaps it is a long ago remembrance of another time, another place, those same familiar eyes shining out. Always we are searching for those recognizable eyes…so that we might at last be recognized ourselves. ~ Karen Kondazian
True Friendship quotes by Karen Kondazian
With every true friendship, we build more firmly the foundations on which the peace of the whole world rests. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
True Friendship quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A true friend is someone you can count on no matter what. ~ Bohdi Sanders
True Friendship quotes by Bohdi Sanders
Popularity and true friendship are two different things. ~ Chantal Gadoury
True Friendship quotes by Chantal Gadoury
I'd say true friendship is worth fighting for. ~ L.T. Suzuki
True Friendship quotes by L.T. Suzuki
I define friendship as a bond that transcends all barriers. When you are ready to expect anything and everything from friends, good, bad or ugly ... that's what I call true friendship. ~ Harbhajan Singh
True Friendship quotes by Harbhajan Singh
The more we seek exclusivity in friendship, the more it becomes obligatory and the less likely it is to fulfill the wonderful vision of what true friendship can be. ~ Harriet Lerner
True Friendship quotes by Harriet Lerner
If you loved once, and if you cared once, you never really stop. And if you build a true foundation, a true friendship, that never really goes away. ~ Wilmer Valderrama
True Friendship quotes by Wilmer Valderrama
Secret Saturdays ought to be required reading at middle schools everywhere. Maldonado gives us both voice and heart. His young characters navigate a challenging world with endearing earnestness, lively style, and a heartening desire for true friendship and dignity. ~ E.R. Frank
True Friendship quotes by E.R. Frank
God send a one person for you, never miss the chance , who make you queen and do-did everything for your smile without any selfiness.... ~ Arshdeep Singh Samrala
True Friendship quotes by Arshdeep Singh Samrala
True friendship has no checks or balances. Once someone starts Keeping Score, the game is over. ~ Kate McGahan
True Friendship quotes by Kate McGahan
Fools convince themselves their enemies are their true friends. ~ Jeff Wheeler
True Friendship 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 Friendship quotes by Charles Kingsley
True friendship destroys envy, and true love destroys coquetterie. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
True Friendship quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Friendship is never established as an understood relation. It is a miracle which requires constant proofs. It is an exercise of the purest imagination and of the rarest faith! ... ~ Henry David Thoreau
True Friendship quotes by Henry David Thoreau
True friendship resists time, distance and silence. ~ Isabel Allende
True Friendship quotes by Isabel Allende
He accepted him for what he was. And that Data concluded, was true friendship. ~ John Corey Whaley
True Friendship quotes by John Corey Whaley
True friendship is never serene. ~ Marie De Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise De Sevigne
True Friendship quotes by Marie De Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise De Sevigne
Oh, Buenos Aires, I have traveled around the world, but I've never been separated from you," said Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges. And Saint Thomas said, "A friendship that can end has never been a true friendship." In ~ Alejandro Jodorowsky
True Friendship quotes by Alejandro Jodorowsky
A true friend knows when to give advice and when to just listen.
"stuff I think about" book by Sondra Faye ~ Sondra Faye
True Friendship quotes by Sondra Faye
Alain Badiou was once seated amongst the public in a room where I was delivering a talk, when his cellphone (which, to add insult to injury, was mine
I had lent it to him) all of a sudden started to ring. Instead of turning it off, he gently interrupted me and asked me if I could talk more softly, so that he could hear his interlocutor more clearly ... If this was not an act of true friendship, I do not know what friendship is. So, this book is dedicated to Alain Badiou. ~ Slavoj Zizek
True Friendship quotes by Slavoj Zizek
To God, thy country, and thy friend be true. ~ Bill Vaughan
True Friendship quotes by Bill Vaughan
A true friend is someone who is always there for you, with no agenda other than the friendship itself. We rely on our friends to lift us up in bad times, to keep us grounded in good times, but most importantly, to be there for us when we need nothing at all. ~ Tonya Hurley
True Friendship quotes by Tonya Hurley
Friendship true is a vow of care.
A warm embrace when in despair.
A loving presence waiting there
to lift a heart, its burdens bear.

Friendship true is an earnest prayer.
A tongue of praise for one's welfare.
A smile 'mid laughs as light as air,
and thoughtfulness most kind and rare. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
True Friendship quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
I am not capable of true friendship. One of the two friends is always the slave of the other, although, often, neither of the two admits this to himself. ~ Mikhail Lermontov
True Friendship quotes by Mikhail Lermontov
I want him to be with me because he likes being with me, not because he's forced to be with me or because he wants something from me. That's not how friendship should be." [Ellani] ~ A.L. Davroe
True Friendship quotes by A.L. Davroe
A true friendship isn't based on what you think you can get out of it. It's based on respecting someone enough to let him be who he really is. A true friend is someone who says "I'm here for you" and proves it. ~ J.T. Geissinger
True Friendship quotes by J.T. Geissinger
Sometimes in life, people get closer, but their bonds wither in no time like the vapor. It takes just a moment to know somebody and it takes just a second to connect with somebody, but the journey there on is the ultimate thing! The true meaning of true friendship is always given by the friends! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
True Friendship quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Just as the dawn is the forerunner of the arising of the sun, so true friendship is the forerunner of the arising of the noble eightfold path. ~ Gautama Buddha
True Friendship quotes by Gautama Buddha
Don't forget to be your wife's best friend as well as her husband. True friendship in marriage does away with all sorts of trouble. ~ Blanche Ebbutt
True Friendship quotes by Blanche Ebbutt
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

True Friendship quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Well that's open to debate,' he said. 'It sounds like a recipe for disaster to me, and I hate the thought of you throwing yourself at guys just to try and get laid. Christ, I'd do you myself if I thought it would keep you safe.'

True Friendship quotes by Wesam Bader

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 Friendship quotes by Mike Wehner
I'd rather reminisce about old memories I had with true people than record the moments I have with fake people ~ Nathanael Kanyinga

True friendship is an unconditional, unselfish, reciprocal service not by lips, but heart to never let its in-built trust to ever fall apart. ~ Anuj
True Friendship quotes by Anuj
I have this friend, Jake," Mr. Mitchell says, sitting on the edge of his desk. "One day, I needed a favor. It wasn't a big favor, but I called him and told him I needed something. Know what he said?"
We shake our heads.
"He said, 'Sure.' Before he eve knew what i was going to ask him. You know why?"
We shake our heads again.
"Because he trusted me not to ask him to do something he couldn't or wouldn't want to do. He knew that whatever i asked for, he would help me simply because he was my friend and I needed help. That's true friendship. ~ Jo Knowles
True Friendship quotes by Jo Knowles
What is Friendship, Definition of Friend, True Friendship - All about the meaning of true friends, what friendship means, meaning of friendship bracelets, poems, ring ~ Mark Vernon
True Friendship quotes by Mark Vernon
True friendship is not about what others can bring to you. It is not about having someone there for you when you need them. It is about what you can give to them and longing to be with them when they find themselves in need, all of which is repaid to you with the fulfillment of the promise that you will never be alone. ~ Steve Marchand
True Friendship quotes by Steve Marchand
A friend is the only person you will let into the house when you are Turning Out Drawers. ~ Pam Brown
True Friendship quotes by Pam Brown
He was also terrified that he hadn't properly read the small print of their relationship. He forgot that true friendship is a contract in which there can be no small print. ~ Gilbert Adair
True Friendship quotes by Gilbert Adair
At fifty-one, why would she choose to dispose of her house, uproot herself, and come here to be a part of your work if she didn't feel that, for the first time in her life, she was profoundly known for who she is, that she was at last cherished for who she truly is? ~ Dean Koontz
True Friendship quotes by Dean Koontz
A true friendship is a love without expectations but with fair a share of contribution. ~ Debasish Mridha
True Friendship quotes by Debasish Mridha
Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend. The rest of us know that though we can have erotic love and friendship for the same person yet in some ways nothing is less like a Friendship than a love-affair. Lovers are always talking to one another about their love; Friends hardly ever about their Friendship. Lovers are normally face to face, absorbed in each other; Friends, side by side, absorbed in some common interest. Above all, Eros (while it lasts) is necessarily between two only. But two, far from being the necessary number for Friendship, is not even the best. And the reason for this is important.
... In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets... Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, 'Here comes one who will augment our loves.' For in this love 'to divide is not to take away. ~ C.S. Lewis
True Friendship quotes by C.S. Lewis
Branching paths. The turning of days and seasons and years. Life offered you love sometimes, sorrow often. If you were very fortunate, true friendship. Sometimes war came.
You did what you could to shape your own peace, before you crossed over to the night and left the world behind, as all men did, to be forgotten or remembered, as time or love allowed. ~ Guy Gavriel Kay
True Friendship quotes by Guy Gavriel Kay
The process of falling in love at first sight is as final as it is swift in such a case, but the growth of true friendship may be a lifelong affair. ~ Sarah Orne Jewett
True Friendship quotes by Sarah Orne Jewett
True friendship is the hardest thing to break... ~ Mykyta Isagulov
True Friendship quotes by Mykyta Isagulov
I see love as an evolution of true friendship. ~ Robert Pattinson
True Friendship quotes by Robert Pattinson
Stick around long enough to be someone's friend. Because true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless. ~ Vera Nazarian
True Friendship quotes by Vera Nazarian
Listening to their argument made me aware of how empty my life was, and I hated the life I was living all the more. It was quite obvious to me this lady was deeply in love, for she was fighting for what she thought to be hers. Even though I was dating two females at the time, and stringing a third one along, yet I've yet to discover that kind of love. I guess this was why my favorite song was 'I wane be love', by the Jamaican reggae super star Buru Banton. ~ Drexel Deal
True Friendship quotes by Drexel Deal
Silence is the true friend that never betrays. ~ Confucius
True Friendship quotes by Confucius
Now another illusion has been stripped from my eyes and I feel as if there wasn't such a thing as real true friendship in the world. ~ L.M. Montgomery
True Friendship quotes by L.M. Montgomery
15. In this great crush of egoism, a lot of people die.
16. Reflective neurons are reflected from the neurons of other people. When approaching danger, it's like glowing warning road signs of fear, in the pitch darkness of self-deception. All this is an empathy of fear, that very feeling when the feeling of true friendship, love, empathy in the claws of danger intensifies.
17. The pain of awareness, as if shot from a shotgun to the knee, you feel the infernal pain of insight, you feel the bloody taste of truth in your mouth. You can shout out all fear, but you will never be able to sober up from it to the end because fear is like saliva in your mouth. You are surrounded by a sound bomb, a lethal dose of the sound of laughter of the indifference of reality that will blow up the universe of mankind, you will only have a skeleton that will someday turn into a stone of eternal memory, flesh will grow flowers, and your spirit will turn into memoirs of planet earth.
18. The gloom of loneliness will give either holiness or madness. ~ Musin Almat Zhumabekovich
True Friendship quotes by Musin Almat Zhumabekovich
True friendship is worth more than can be measured,
a quality forever to be treasured.
True friends will staunchly stand beside each other,
as loyally brother shieldeth brother,
remaining firm in spite of war and strife,
in poverty or sickness, throughout life.
True friendship doth endure while comrades age
from boy to youth, from warrior to sage. ~ Cecilia Dart-Thornton
True Friendship quotes by Cecilia Dart-Thornton
If we go looking for a friend, we'll find many locked doors. It can be a lonely and often fruitless search. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard we knock there's not a single person to be found for true friendship. But... when we go out to BE a friend, we find an endless supply of open doors and people to share and experience our lives with. And that's the real key. ~Jason Versey ~ Jason Versey
True Friendship quotes by Jason Versey
True friendship develops not as a result of money or power but on the basis of genuine human affection. ~ Dalai Lama
True Friendship quotes by Dalai Lama
A messy house is a must - it separates your true friends from other friends.
Real friends are there to visit you not your house! ~ Jennifer Wilson
True Friendship quotes by Jennifer Wilson
