SOME MEMORABLE THOUGHTS
ABOUT FRIENSHIP
Lexically a friend is a
person you know well and like, and who is not usually a member of your family.
According to another
definition friendship is a voluntary, mutual relationship characterized by affection,
trust, and companionship beyond casual acquaintance. It is a bond where individuals support one
another, share experiences, and engage in continuous mutual growth.
Some common synonyms of
friendship are : companionship, comradeship, camaraderie. intimacy, amity,
acquaintance, and fellowship.
A very intimate friend is your second self. He
is an ‘alter ego’ because he embodies the same traits as you do.
Temporary friends are not worth having. They
are opportunists. They will desert you in your unfortunate times.
A
proverb says : A friend in need is a
friend indeed.
According to another : True
friends provide support during hard times.
Greek
philosopher Aristotle (384 BC---322 BC) said: Friendship is a single soul
dwelling in two bodies.

can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness
and sincerity.

friend, may be said to have doubled his mental resources.---English clergy Robert
Hall (1764-1831).

doubling our joy, and dividing our grief. ----English poet and essayist Joseph

through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man should keep his
friendships in constant repair.---English author Samuel Johnson (1709-84).
