As we go through life, we begin to understand that it’s not important to have a lot of friends. We don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends we can be certain of – just a few true and loyal friends who will be there for us in our hour of need.
This is because...
As the circle of friends is enlarged, the bonds of friendship are relaxed and weakened. - John Thornton
Good friends are hard to come by. So, be sure to put in a little effort to cultivate a friendship if you come across anyone whom you think is worthy to be a friend. After all, it has been said that in a friendship, there is the magical warmth of the human heart that surpasses the power of medicine.
And here are what others said of friends and friendship.
If out of all mankind one finds a single friend, he has found something more precious than any treasure, since there is nothing in the world so valuable that it can be compared to a real friend. - Andreas Capellanus
Friends are present in our lives to hold the light for us when ours is dimmed. - Francois
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. - Euripides
We praise in others what we find in ourselves; true friendship grows when self-esteem is flattered by mutual agreement in tastes and pleasures. - Duc de La Rochefoucau
The miracle of friendship can be spoken without words, hearing unspoken needs, recognizing secret dreams, understanding the silent things that only true friends know. - Unknown
Under the magnetism of friendship the modest man becomes bold, the shy, confident, the lazy, active; or the impetuous prudent and peaceful. - William Thackeray
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious. - Saint Thomas Aquinas
Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world. - Eleanor Roosevelt
I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship. - Pietro Aretino
