Each person is on his own life path wants and strives to find happiness. And everyone puts their own understanding into this word. But probably no one will argue that one of the important components of happiness is friendship. True, true friendship, like true love, is a rather rare phenomenon. And a quote from Marlene Dietrich even says that friendship unites people much more powerfully than love.
Trust, patience and reciprocity are what truly friendly relationships are based on. And quotes about friendship will prove this to you.
In friendship you have to learn to be human. And although no one is immune from mistakes, the main thing is to be able to notice them in yourself.
Everyone wants to see as their friend a faithful and sincere, spiritually rich and comprehensively developed person. And for this you need to be like that yourself. The ancient Greek poet Euripides, who is so fond of quoting, formulated even before our era: “Tell me who your friend is, and I will tell you who you are.”
Of course, this doesn't always work. To quote the French philosopher Paul Valéry: “Do not judge a man by his friends. Judas’s were perfect.” But I want to believe that this is still an exception to the rule.
Friendship is such a great feeling that great people often talked about it. Poets, writers and philosophers have often addressed this topic. That's why there are so many wise quotes and aphorisms about friendship.
