“Opposition is true friendship.”
William Blake
“The greatest book about giving that I've ever read is 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens, about Scrooge and how happy he was when he started doing things to help Tiny Tim's impoverished family, ... Remember? His whole attitude changed and he was happy.”
Ted Turner
“But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good.”
Oscar Wilde
“A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.”
William Arthur Ward
“True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.”
David Tyson Gentry
“A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.”
William Penn
“Friendship is love with understanding”
