Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone — but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming.

Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendship and intimacies, and soon their places will know them no more, and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to "keep" by force of inertia.

God sends people into our lives just when we need them, to say the right word, His word, just when we need it.

Any religious person who says he does not really need human friends because God is his Friend is calling God a liar because He's the One Who says we also need human friends.

I'm awful dull, but I hope I've beat out something nigh the rights of this at last. And so GOD bless you, dear old Pip, old chap, GOD bless you!

If we are all made of God, it is our friends who remind us. We pass the gift of God to them. They pass it back to us when we need it most.

Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.

I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me.

Friends are much better tried in bad fortune than in good.

Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs.

A good friend remembers what we were and sees what we can be.

I get through the tough times through prayer and meditation. And I have really good friends and family, and a great therapist.
