Henry David Thoreau Friend Quotations

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.

A friend is one who takes me for what I am.

A true Friendship is as wise as it is tender. The parties to it yield implicitly to the guidance of their love, and know no otherlaw nor kindness.

Even the utmost good-will and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. We do not wish for Friends to feed and clothe our bodies-neighbors are kind enough for that-but to do the like office to our spirits.

Faint heart never won true friend. O my friend, may it come to pass, once, that when you are my friend I may be yours.
