Daniel Ek
I was as alone as a person can be. I could not turn to a friend, for nobody wished to befriend me. I was toxic, and everyone knew it. To be near me was to be near hardship. Wise people stayed far away. I was alone, atop a mountain of rage. Why was I made to wear these awful scars?
Phan Thi Kim Phuc
My brother’s my best friend, without a doubt. Me and my big sister get along so well. She moved to East London, though, so points off, but she’s wicked. And then my little sister is a little genius. She’s super talented and such a great person, always been far more mature and cool than me.

Octavia E. Butler
When I was very young, I remember my mother telling me about a friend of hers in Germany, a pianist who played a symphony that wasn’t permitted, and the Germans came up on stage and broke every finger on her hands. I grew up with stories of Nazis breaking the fingers of Jews.

We all started playing football against our best friends, and I can’t remember a moment where, because it was my best friend, I did not want to win against him.
Jurgen Klopp
Nothing shall I, while sane, compare with a friend.
Homer
After I quit the U.S. Ski Team, there was a fair amount of, you know, grief that follows that, and I just wanted to take a year off. And I had a friend that lived in Los Angeles, said I could crash on his couch. And so I just kind of did the first really spontaneous thing I’d done in my young adult life.
Molly Bloom
Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.
Lloyd Bentsen
I’m not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.
Gloria Allred
Nnutthowze was a group I was in back when I wa,s like, 18, 19 maybe. It was DJ Icy Rock, my deceased friend Brian Dennis, the mastermind behind it, and a host of other cats.
Tech N9ne
Loyalty is one of the qualities in a friend that I value most.
Peyton List
I took solace in my relationship with God who, along with my dog, was my best friend growing up.
Lisa Bonet
Meek wifehood is no part of my profession; I am your friend, but never your possession.
Vera Brittain
Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.
Warren Buffett
The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to.
Carl Sandburg
My father was my best friend. He was conservative and traditional, but at the same time, he wasn’t strict.
Randhir Kapoor
Bob Newhart, who is my best friend, is one of the guys I adore.
Don Rickles
A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.
Robert Hall
It is not helpful to help a friend by putting coins in his pockets when he has got holes in his pockets.
Elizabeth Bowen
Hope is a pleasant acquaintance, but an unsafe friend.
Thomas Chandler Haliburton
Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it ‘tap-dancing to work.’
Bill Gates
You will get the most attention from those who hate you. No friend, no admirer and no partner will flatter you with as much curiosity.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I want to live with that sense with the music I make, with the art I make, with the way I love my kids, with the way I am a father and a husband and a friend and a follower of Christ, I want to live with reckless abandonment to the truth of the Gospel.
Steven Curtis Chapman
The wide world is all before us – but a world without a friend.
Robert Burns
A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.
Charles Kingsley
Would a good friend, a smart friend, encourage you to do something as dishonorable as not pay a bill you’re morally and legally obligated to pay? I don’t think so.
Dave Ramsey
A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.
Aesop
I feel like it’s big now with the passing of Mac Miller. Rest in peace, Mac Miller, who was a good friend of mine. That just showed people, like, it could happen to anybody. Just because you have fame or money, you’re not immune to negativity and depression and stress.
Soulja Boy
Once a friend of mine applied on my behalf to enter the Miss Delhi, Face of 1993 contest. I soon fell in love with the concept and the ramp walks too.
Manini Mishra
If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find th

If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.
Zig Ziglar
I don’t ever want it to be about me. A friend of mine told me, ‘The difference between fame and notoriety is fame is when people know you, and notoriety is when people know your work.’ The first one is not respectable, but the second one is, because that leaves a legacy.
Troy Baker
You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.
Harry S Truman
Never trust anyone who wants what you’ve got. Friend or no, envy is an overwhelming emotion.
Eubie Blake
Love making jewelry? Awesome! Find blogs that inspire you, follow people on social media who have great taste, start an Etsy store, and borrow a friend’s DSLR to take some beautiful photos of your craft. All of this costs $0.
Alexis Ohanian
Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic’s best friend!
Gerard Way
The day I showed up to South Carolina to work, I was with my kid and my ex and our dog and Kirk was hanging with this weird guy and I kind of defined the two of them by his friend and made a vow to avoid him.
Donal Logue
Never expect a loan to a friend to be paid back if you want to keep that friend.
Bryant H. McGill
A steady patriot of the world alone, The friend of every country but his own.
George Canning
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Change should be a friend. It should happen by plan, not by accident.
Phil Crosby
I have learned that not diamonds but divorce lawyers are a girl’s best friend.
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Well, when I was a kid, I grew up in San Diego next to the ocean. The ocean was my friend – my best friend.
Robert Ballard
My good friend Yao Ming was the first big player in the NBA to come from China. He gave himself to the game and was successful. That inspired the NBA to invest more and do more for the game of basketball. We’re building academies not just in China, but in India, Africa, Europe and South America as well.
Dikembe Mutombo
Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
At every crisis in one’s life, it is absolute salvation to have some sympathetic friend to whom you can think aloud without restraint or misgiving.
Woodrow Wilson
If fear is the great enemy of intimacy, love is its true friend.
Henri Nouwen
Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.
Christian Nestell Bovee
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.
Anais Nin
My ace in the hole as a human being used to be my capacity for remembering birthdays. I worked at it. Whenever I made a new friend, I made a point of finding out his or her birthday early on, and I would record it in my Filofax calendar.
Susan Orlean
Money is not the most important thing, but when you need it, there are few substitutes. So while I like the things money can buy, I love what money won’t buy. It bought me a house but it won’t buy me a home. It would buy me a companion but it won’t buy me a friend.
Zig Ziglar
Defender of the liberty that I idolize, myself more free than anyone, in coming as a friend to offer my services to this intriguing republic, I bring to it only my frankness and my good will; no ambition, no self-interest; in working for my glory, I work for their happiness.
Marquis de Lafayette
We all know what it feels like to be an outcast or a loner or to fall between the cracks. To be the target of gossip or people talking about you, or girls are ganging up on you. One minute, they’re your best friend; the next, they call you on three-way.
Krysten Ritter
He’s my friend that speaks well of me behind my back.
Thomas Fuller
What I like best is a book that’s at least funny once in a while. What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.
J. D. Salinger
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
Thomas Jefferson
He’s the most incredible man. He’s so generous and kind, and he helps so many people, and, um, he makes me laugh like I’ve never laughed, and he’s a great friend.
Katie Holmes
I didn’t have parents, so I lived in people’s homes… And because I grew up with no parental role models, I learned to become my own friend, eventually my own father and my own mother.
John Lone
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.
Richard Bach
I continue to be a photographer; I have enjoyed fishing

I continue to be a photographer; I have enjoyed fishing and hunting with a close friend; and have owned two ranches, first in northern California and then in the state of Washington.
Douglass North
A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.
Dwight L. Moody
Every child needs to have for itself not only its loving parents and siblings and friends of its own age, but a grown-up friend.
P. L. Travers
I’m challenged to races. Never a stranger. I’ve had a good friend of mine who, to be honest, is tiny and, like, should have assumed that I could have beat him, that I’m faster than him, and then crew members, two different crew members. I’m 3 and 0.
Grant Gustin
I’m not a great stickler for giving or receiving presents on birthdays, anniversaries, etc. as a ‘must do.’ I prefer giving a gift without occasion if I feel it’s something a friend will like.
Shabana Azmi
The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.
Yoko Ono
My best friend, Wil Wheaton, identifies himself as a geek.
Chris Hardwick
In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.
William Penn
I married my best friend. I was still in awe after more than four years of being around her at how smart and strong and loving and caring she was. And I really hoped that her choosing me and rejecting my advice to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret.
William J. Clinton
I think I like those who feel comfortable like a friend and also take good care of me like a mother.
Park Bo-gum
My mom is my best friend in the entire world. She is so cool and so inspiring. I’ve always been able to be open with her and talk to her as a friend.
Jessica Lowndes
A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
Jim Morrison
I really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He’s not just a cat, he’s my friend.
Tracey Emin
I’m too vain to go on TV. I’d be a monster of self-consciousness. Plus, I’ve got a ridiculous voice – I sound like a camp friend of Bertie Wooster’s.
A. A. Gill
It’s the classic story form. All staying equal, or proving equal, or being equal, this will all continue, and the next time around, we’ll move on to see what happened to Harry after he dove in the river, or who his friend John really was, and so on.
Robert Creeley
Memory is man’s greatest friend and worst enemy.
Gilbert Parker
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!
Doug Larson
I’m the kindest, most supportive friend ever, probably to my own detriment, but I hope that I am toughening up a little bit.
Aisha Tyler
The United States is our best friend, and our relations are excellent. Our relations will be strengthened even more, despite our differences in views.
Yitzhak Shamir
I feel most comfortable in an old pair of jeans, Converse, and a man’s jersey. My best friend cuts my hair with kitchen scissors.
Jane Birkin
I come here tonight as a sister, blessed with a brother who is my mentor, my protector and my lifelong friend. And I come here as a wife who loves my husband and believes he will be an extraordinary president.
Michelle Obama
I am honored to be one of this year’s Urbanworld ambassadors for the festival’s 20th anniversary, joining my friend David Oyelowo. I have always had a special relationship with Urbanworld, back to my days as a festival publicist to previewing my earlier films and now as an ambassador.
Ava DuVernay
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine
We are at war – undeclared and of such a subtle nature that few have noticed – but war nevertheless. It is a cyberwar on many fronts, in which it is difficult to identify who is friend and who is foe. I will predict now, as unintelligible as it may seem, that Anonymous will turn out to be more friend than foe.
John McAfee
I said to the almond tree, ‘Friend, speak to me of God,’ and the almond tree blossomed.
Nikos Kazantzakis
I’ll only work if something delicious comes along or if a darling friend asks me to flutter my wings.
Julie Newmar
The first temptation, upon meeting an old friend after many years, is always to – look the other way.
Ugo Betti
I occasionally rapped along to some homegrown Korean rap. And then a friend introduced me to Wu-Tang and played me ‘Enter the 36th Chambers.’ It was very shocking. And then I started to look for different albums. This was pre-Internet, so it’s hard to find the music, and it was even harder to find music videos.
G-Dragon
Wes Craven is a wonderful friend, and we had a really good time together.
Henry Winkler
What do you do with your best friend? You do nothing.
Blake Lively
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
George MacDonald
My first flight was to Majorca as a 17-year-old and I w

My first flight was to Majorca as a 17-year-old and I went to Seattle to visit a friend after that. But the first time I really ventured out abroad to Canada and Japan as well as to Europe, to France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands, was to promote my first album.
Corinne Bailey Rae
It was in New York, and I’ve always wanted to film in New York. And the writer was a teenage friend of mine. We did youth theatre together when we were 16 and always had a dream of making a film together. And ten years later, we’ve done it. So it’s great.
Rosamund Pike
We never had a trampoline, but I wished I did. We’d sneak into a friend’s pool and use their trampoline to practice backflips.
Rey Mysterio
It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.
Henry Ward Beecher
The loss of a friend is like that of a limb; time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired.
Robert Southey
To be a friend means that they are always there, for the good or the bad.
Rafael Nadal
Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.
Gillian Anderson
My best friend and I went to sleep-away camp every summer. We’d share stories of making out with boys, but we never did, so we made it all up. My real first kiss was at a friend’s house when I was in junior high. He was such a good kisser, and we’re still close friends!
Kourtney Kardashian
I don’t need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.
Plutarch
Another friend hired me to open doors for him in the moving and relocation business. I did that for 10 years, am still doing it. And I do some work for the Cubs, in community relations.
Ernie Banks
Everyone has met or seen or interacted with a Nigerian in America because we leave Nigeria for here. We’re your doctors. We’re your lawyers. We’re your child’s best friend. All of the above.
Yvonne Orji
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
Lao Tzu
Banks have a new image. Now you have ‘a friend,’ your friendly banker. If the banks are so friendly, how come they chain down the pens?
Alan King
No man is useless while he has a friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I am a friend of Adventist people and a lover of truth.
Walter Martin
I’m passionate about being true to myself, sending good energy to the people around me, traveling, staying inspired, being a good friend, being a good daughter, being a good sister.
Erin Wasson
One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.
Euripides
My brother’s friend worked at a TV station, so we went in; the producer of a show asked if I wouldn’t mind taking some photos for his wife, who was a talent agent. Next thing I know, I’m enroute to the agency.
Godfrey Gao
When I was right out of college, I felt competitive with some of the guys in my class over career stuff. It’s funny now to think about it – that a friend getting a job or something had anything to do with me… I think that my relationship with my wife has played a pivotal role in the chilling out of Aaron.
Aaron Staton
Some people are really proud of me, and some don’t like it. I don’t really know what to tell those people. It’s like people that don’t know me or people that aren’t even my friends saying I’ve changed. I have two friends – exactly two friends. It’s like, how can someone that’s not even my friend say I’ve changed?
Bryson Tiller
America is a friend to the people of Iraq. Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.
George W. Bush
To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
Charlie Chaplin
When my wife and I met, I couldn’t talk to her – and my defense mechanism is sarcasm. I belittle someone with verbal pokes and prods. I did it to her out of complete awe. When friends introduced us, I said ‘Hi’ – and turned my back. Later, I called my mom and best friend and said, ‘I think I just met my wife.’
Mike Vogel
My favorite type of pet has always been a dog. They’re loyal, kind, and offer endless affection. My friend Eric says, ‘The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.’ Funny thought.
Brendon Urie
Too few rejoice at a friend’s good fortune.
Aeschylus
You cannot get me to be disloyal to a friend. You just can’t do it. Loyalty is a part of what I live by. I didn’t say I was going to be loyal to my friend because he was right. I’m going to be loyal to my friend because he’s my friend.
Jim Brown
Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.
Markus Zusak
If I do something caring for a friend, I have no doubt in my mind they would do it for me.
Larry King
I was the kid next door’s imaginary friend.
Emo Philips
Success is a lousy teacher, but failure is a friend, philosopher, and guide.
Ayushmann Khurrana
I’m thankful enough or blessed enough to be able to say that Miles Davis was a friend when he was alive, and he was a wonderful mentor and really, really funny, you know.
Prince
I had the good fortune to call George Steinbrenner both

I had the good fortune to call George Steinbrenner both partner and friend.
John W. Henry
My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today.
Richard Adams
A friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend – and he’s a priest.
Erma Bombeck
Sometimes you think about the job that we, as actors, do. I take it very seriously, and I care very much about it, but I’m paid to make believe. When you’re a kid, you go to your friend’s house, and it’s, ‘Let’s pretend we’re both cowboys!’ Without belittling it, that’s basically what I do – I tell stories.
Charlie Cox
Food recommendations are a must, but be careful. A friend went to a cafe I’d suggested and got food poisoning.
Sarah Millican
All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A friend is a lot of things, but a critic isn’t.
Bernard Williams
My friend, the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, was murdered in 2004 for having been insufficiently reverent toward Islam.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
We invest less in our friendships and expect more of friends than any other relationship. We spend days working out where to book for a romantic dinner, weeks wondering how to celebrate a partner or parent’s birthday, and seconds forgetting a friend’s important anniversary.
Mariella Frostrup
A friend forced me to watch ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ and even though it was a fantastic movie, I could only watch one.
Sibel Kekilli
Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.
Euripides
One of the greatest punsters of all time, Peter Serafinowicz, is a good friend of mine, and I’ve been in situations more than once where people have been exhausted hanging around with him.
Will Arnett
Time is your friend; impulse is your enemy.
John C. Bogle
I like to look good, my friend.
Conor McGregor
I know Marco Rubio very well. He’s a friend of mine. He’s a man of deep faith. He is a man who follows Catholic dogma and – you know, for whom religion is very important.
Ana Navarro
My mom is my best friend and my biggest cheerleader.
Scott Eastwood
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I had a lot of those fake friends. You just have to realize it’s happening. You can’t get caught up in the ‘Oh, my God, they want to be my friend, finally’ aspect.
Grace VanderWaal
Critics can be your most important friend. I don’t read criticism of my stuff only because when it’s bad, it’s rough-and when it’s good, it’s not good enough.
Kevin Bacon
Everyone calls himself a friend, but only a fool relies on it; nothing is commoner than the name, nothing rarer than the thing.
Jean de La Fontaine
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
Aeschylus
In, like, seventh or eighth grade every day after school, my friend Andrew and I would watch ‘Wayne’s World.’ And I think it’s a great example of a sketch effectively turned into a movie and a story that really works with a good journey. Not easily accomplished, but such a good journey.
Nick Kroll
It’s not that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but it’s your best friends who are your diamonds. It’s your best friends who are supremely resilient, made under pressure and of astonishing value. They’re everlasting; they can cut glass if they need to.
Gina Barreca
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Helen Keller
My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend.
Rodney Dangerfield
You shouldn’t just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend.
Sue Wicks
They tell you in Washington that if you want a friend, get a dog. That is not true. Get a family. This is a hard place to be.
Merrick Garland
Oh, my God, I literally only have, like, one friend that I’m actually completely, like, myself with.
Naomi Osaka
The Framers of the Constitution knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny.
Hugo Black
Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.
William Arthur Ward
With any coach, you have a lot of respect for him, but it is difficult to be their friend.
David de Gea
My best friend is the most important girl, outside of f

My best friend is the most important girl, outside of family, to me. I met her when I went to college and we bonded immediately. I’d do anything for her at any time. We phone each other every day.
Dawn French
Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
John Singer Sargent
I’ve always been pleased with the investments I’ve made with my friend Albert Frere and I regret not having followed him more, because I would have been a lot richer.
Bernard Arnault
I believe in soulmates, yes, but I believe you also have to work at love. I happen to believe your soulmate doesn’t have to be your partner – your soulmate could be your best friend, your sibling, it doesn’t have to be the person you marry.
Cheryl Cole
An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretended friend is worse.
John Gay
The reason I met my husband was because I remembered a friend’s birthday. The moral of the story is: Remember people’s birthdays.
Julianna Margulies
Paolo Maldini. He was tough, tough, every time we played against each other. And I played against him many times. He’s a very good friend.
Ronaldo
Peter Kaplan was a partner, a mentor, and a friend.
Jared Kushner
Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Unknown
I love Saturday nights with my best friend and a big bowl of pasta, wanting a good scare, something that will say, ‘Listen, your life is not as bad as this. Your life can be so much worse.’
Vera Farmiga
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer
I’ve known Donald forever, and I know the bad things they say about Donald Trump is not true because I’ve known him as a friend for so long. I’ve seen what he’s done for all types of people. I know how many people call him a racist and all this, and it just makes me sick because he’s not.
John Daly
What really got me focused on cancer was when my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, and even though she was a well-to-do person, I found that her treatment costs were crippling.
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back, and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you’re not sure about certain things, talk to your friends that you trust and your family.
Victoria Justice
A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.
Hedy Lamarr
Sleep is my best friend… A friend that helps you dream, relaxes, recharges, and is there at the end of every day!
Shruti Haasan
A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
Frank Crane

Sojourner Truth
A single rose can be my garden… a single friend, my world.
Leo Buscaglia
A cat will be your friend, but never your slave.
Theophile Gautier
Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.
Rumi
I am a great friend of public amusements, they keep people from vice.
Samuel Johnson
A friend, Sean Cunningham, who went on to do ‘Friday the 13th,’ was given a small budget to produce a scary movie, and he told me to write something. I’d never seen a horror film in my life; I’d fallen in love with Fellini.
Wes Craven
A faithful friend is a strong defense; And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
Louisa May Alcott
Suddenly, my friend’s daughters are becoming my best friends. I have so many 12-year-old girlfriends.
Cate Blanchett
When you meet your best friend in real life, or you meet your soulmate, you just know it, and you feel it.
Lili Reinhart
The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character.
Emma Goldman
I’d rather kiss my best friend than kiss some random guy.
Madelaine Petsch
I got into gambling when I was playing a casino. I was a hermit in those days. I would go onstage, go to my room, or if we had to travel, I’d get in a car or a plane, whatever. But I didn’t do anything. One day, this friend of mine said, ‘Do you want to play some blackjack?’
Gladys Knight
Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.
Chanakya
All you need to do to be my friend is like me.
Taylor Swift
I don't even know what made me start wanting to do musi

I don’t even know what made me start wanting to do music. It just… happened. Because I sat in my basement all the time, and music was my best friend, and I just wanted to be a part of it.
Clinton Sparks
A friend told me about a Nike competition, where they give you one minute to do tricks with a basketball. I wasn’t going to go, but they were giving away free sneakers. I ended up coming in second place.
Ramon Rodriguez
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
John Leonard
Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.
Hosea Ballou
You don’t have to be married to have a good friend as your partner for life.
Greta Garbo
I’ve always had an argument with my best friend that Spider-Man was way better than Batman. I was a massive fan growing up.
Tom Holland
It takes effort to be a real friend and to find a true friend.
Peyton List
When my daughter, Clare, was 4, she told me that a school friend had told her what I did for a living. Clare asked me, ‘Is it true you play Jack Rabbit?’
Peter Bergman
When self-doubt creeps in, don’t ignore it – address it. Respond to harsh self-criticism with something more compassionate. Talk to yourself like a trusted friend and refuse to believe your unrealistic, negative inner monologue.
Amy Morin
I say: If you don’t know how to cook, I’m sure you have at least one friend who knows how to cook. Well, call that friend and say, ‘Can I come next time and can I bring some food and can I come an hour or two hours ahead and watch you and help you?’
Jacques Pepin
My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.
Solomon Ibn Gabirol
It used to be that what was going to be written on my tombstone was ‘Benjamin Wittes, former ‘Washington Post’ editorial writer,’ or ‘Benjamin Wittes, who wasn’t even a lawyer.’ Now it’s just, like, ‘Benjamin Wittes, who’s a friend of Jim Comey’s.’
Benjamin Wittes
My friend had told me about ‘Stranger Things’ and how I had to watch it. I was like, ‘OK, I will!’ I binged it in, like, a day and was like, ‘Oh my gosh, Mom, you need to watch this show. Everyone needs to watch this.’ A week later, I got the breakdown for Max. A month later, I got the part.
Sadie Sink
I started writing songs with my best friend Eden Rice when were in our early teens. We performed together at local coffee shops in suburban Atlanta as Kemp and Eden, until fate intervened and we were separated.
Kemp Muhl
I watched the ‘Food, Inc.’ documentary and was like, ‘This has opened my eyes to the meat industry – maybe I should go vegetarian.’ And my friend told me, ‘Sadie, you’re not gonna last a week.’ But I’m very competitive.
Sadie Sink
I have just one fiddle. It works, and that’s it. It has been an old friend.
Itzhak Perlman
Howard the Duck is my best friend.
Kate Leth
I’ll never have a best friend who is a man. It just doesn’t work that way. So many times young girls will be like, ‘I’m a guy’s girl.’ And I’m like, ‘No, you’re not. There’s no way a man can understand you like a woman, and you’re a guy’s girl because you’re threatened by other women.’ I was like that.
Jemima Kirke
AR Rahman has always been a good friend of mine.
Vivek
Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
You are beginning to see that any man to whom you can do favor is your friend, and that you can do a favor to almost anyone.
Mark Caine
I have this red cardigan that my friend Coco gave me that has holes for thumbs. It’s my cozy sweater. I wear it a lot.

I am deeply saddened by the death of my dear friend, Dudley Moore.
Liza Minnelli
If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.
Ben Kingsley
There are many times when a woman will ask another girl friend how she likes her new hat. She will reply, ‘Fine,’ but slap her hand to her forehead the minute the girl leaves to yipe, ‘What a horror!’
Marilyn Monroe
It’s hard giving advice to a friend about their marriage. You never know if you’re saying too much or too little.
Kyle Richards
When a man’s best friend is his dog, that dog has a problem.
Edward Abbey
Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.
Blaise Pascal
Sometimes I get to put on posh frocks and be Madam Glamour, the vendor of my wares. My lovely friend Kath, a stylist, puts me into things I’d never dream of. But my real life is very different. It’s very, very home-based – an intense domestic life, that’s the core of everything.
Emma Thompson
Sunglasses are a migraine sufferer’s best friend.
Cindy McCain
I’ve always wanted to do a segment on a talk show. Jay Leno has been such a good friend, and if he would allow me, I’d have to get it all together, but I’d like to go on ‘The Tonight Show’ and do a set with no props. Or come out with a trunk and never touch it. Or come out with a clear trunk with nothing in it.
Carrot Top
I hate Botox, but a fabulous-looking friend of mine tol

I hate Botox, but a fabulous-looking friend of mine told me her secret was this gadget that uses electrical impulses to tone your facial muscles. It works!
Marie Helvin
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
When everything is lonely I can be my best friend.
Conor Oberst
It may be doubtful, at first, whether a person is an enemy or friend. Meat, if not properly digested, becomes poison; But poison, if used rightly, may turn medicinal.
Saskya Pandita
We all need that extra friend outside of our immediate family to talk about that extra stuff you wouldn’t normally talk to your parents about.
Bethany Hamilton
A man will speedily sit down and sympathize with a friend’s griefs, but if he sees him honored and esteemed, he is apt to regard him as a rival and does not so readily rejoice with him. This ought not to be; without effort, we ought to be happy in our brother’s happiness.
Charles Spurgeon
When your best friend dies, and you’re crying on the balcony, and TMZ is taking pictures of somebody comforting you saying, ‘Ooooo, scandalous’ – that’s the worst part of fame.
Blackbear
I went to my friend’s house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I’m in love.
Ace Frehley
I’ve dealt with a lot of people with bad intentions. Just because somebody has a following does not mean that they are a good person or a good friend.
Emma Chamberlain
Every status update you read on Facebook, every tweet or text message you get from a friend, is competing for resources in your brain with important things like whether to put your savings in stocks or bonds, where you left your passport, or how best to reconcile with a close friend you just had an argument with.
Daniel Levitin
The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and fighting terror – and America is honored to be their friend.
George W. Bush
Whoever understands how to do a kindness when he fares well would be a friend better than any possession.
Sophocles
Chaos is a friend of mine.
Bob Dylan
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
John Boyle O’Reilly
The poor man looks upon the law as an enemy, not as a friend. For him, the law is always taking something away.
Robert Kennedy
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
You know he’s invested when he doesn’t treat his ‘friend time’ and ‘girlfriend time’ as mutually exclusive.
Matthew Hussey
You think about when you’re with your friend, and you hang out with your friend. And then you go do whatever you’re doing, your life. You know, and then you see your friend again. But for us, we were friends that, we would be together, and then we would go to work, which was us still again, so we were always together.
Ad-Rock
My mother, father, stepmother and surrogate mother have all died of cancer; my best friend has got terminal cancer and at least five of my other friends have had cancer but survived it.
Arabella Weir
I think ‘chuffed to bits’ is a very Yorkshire way of describing my feelings for my friend and county team-mate Joe Root on his promotion to England captain.
Jonny Bairstow
My dad Chester was a pianist and later a well-known television entertainer so football was never really something that was on his radar. However when I was a young boy a family friend took me to see an Arsenal game and from that moment on I was totally and utterly hooked.
Ainsley Harriott
The best way to get along is never to forgive an enemy or forget a friend.
Walter Winchell
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
Arnold H. Glasow
Of course, I could try IVF. But having watched my friend TV presenter Clare Nasir go through it, I know how tough the journey is. Emotional fool I may be, but even I can see that’s too selfish a course of action to impose on my family.
Kate Garraway
I vividly remember a conversation I had many years ago in 1974, which marked a turning point in my leadership journey. I was sitting at a Holiday Inn with my friend, Kurt Campmeyer, when he asked me if I had a personal growth plan. I didn’t. In fact, I didn’t even know you were supposed to have one.
John C. Maxwell
I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
Ernest Hemingway
Often people become our friend or follower with an undercurrent of resentment in our having more success than they have. They secretly desire the opportunity to take us down a notch; they have a nose for any misstep on our part they can exploit.
Robert Greene
We were friends for a year before we started playing music together. We both think it’s pretty important. Tyler’s my friend before he’s a guy in my band, and when we talk to each other about things, it comes from a friend standpoint, not just a business standpoint.
Josh Dun
It’s impossible. You try to have any kind of relationship with your family, with a man, or with a friend, and you have to be on the phone and the Internet the entire time.
Keira Knightley
I had taken an acting class at Berkeley – I was on the track team, and a friend of mine on the team said, ‘You should take an acting class. It’s just like recess.’ So I viewed it as a simple credit.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you ca

Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.
Aldo Leopold
A Code of Honor: Never approach a friend’s girlfriend or wife with mischief as your goal. There are just too many women in the world to justify that sort of dishonorable behavior. Unless she’s really attractive.
Bruce Jay Friedman
We have a saying in the Marine Corps and that is ‘no better friend, no worse enemy, than a U.S. Marine.’ We always hope for the first, friendship, but are certainly more than ready for the second.
John F. Kelly
She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It’s good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.
Toni Morrison
You can always tell a real friend: when you’ve made a fool of yourself he doesn’t feel you’ve done a permanent job.
Laurence J. Peter
Do your job. Do it the best you can. Do it right, because somebody, sometimes your best friend, is waiting for you to screw up so she can take your place.
Abby Lee Miller
If you’re going to think mean things about me or not be a true friend, then we don’t need to be friends.
Kay Panabaker
Jack Kerouac influenced me quite a bit as a writer… in the Arab sense that the enemy of my enemy was my friend.
Hunter S. Thompson
What I see, what I went through, what a friend of mine may have went through, whatever – I rap about it.
Kevin Gates
I liked Stanley Kubrick from the start. He had a warm, benign nature and offered himself to you as a friend and ally. He seemed to possess no airs or attitudes, neuroses, or predilection towards tantrums.
Steven Berkoff
‘Chasing Amy’ was an amazing role, but then after that, I went and did ‘Big Daddy’ and you’re the girlfriend or you’re the best friend. I wasn’t getting the Nicole Kidman roles.
Joey Lauren Adams
Blood is thicker than water, so the fact that I have my sister always with me, it’s like you always have someone who’s your best friend and always have someone who has your back. You can always trust your family, and I’m lucky to have that.
Brie Bella
Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service perfomed all precede that goal of eternal life.
Thomas S. Monson
If one app or news site or friend gets your attention, that means something or someone else loses it. It comes out of our sleep, our time with family or our reflective time with ourselves.
Tristan Harris
My friend Paul Ryan talks about fiscal responsibility, but voted to put two wars on a credit card.
Steny Hoyer
I’ve got a friend who is a lion tamer. He used to be a school teacher till he lost his nerve.
Les Dawson
When I was a kid I feel lonely, I have not many friends. If you make a movie, then you can work with different kinds of people and make different kinds of friend. That’s very important to me.
John Woo
I’ve always believed that a goal in life is not to own a boat but have a friend with a boat.
Christie Hefner
I’d asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, ‘Well, what do you love most?’ That’s how I started painting money.
Andy Warhol
You kind of need to weed through who is wanting to be a true friend.
AJ Michalka
I’ve known my best friend since I was a baby, and I don’t know what I would do without her. She is always straight with me and can make me laugh hysterically. Everyone should have someone like that in their life.
Jasmine Guinness
We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
People think just because I’m from the Middle East, I’m an expert on the Middle East. So, like, I got a friend, like, any time the gas prices go up, he’ll always ask my opinion about it.
Maz Jobrani
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Khalil Gibran
When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.
Abraham Kuyper
Bill Justis was a saxophone player, good musician, arranger, and friend of mine who had a big hit called ‘Raunchy.’
Ray Stevens
I’ve always felt that having a garden is like having a good and loyal friend.
C. Z. Guest
Without Hitler, the State of Israel probably would not exist today. To that extent he was probably the Jews’ greatest friend.
David Irving
I ran into my old friend Michael Kenneth Williams, who I worked with on a show called ‘The Philanthropist’ for NBC. He was going to be doing this show called ‘Hap and Leonard.’ He was playing Leonard, and they were looking for somebody to play Hap.
James Purefoy
I used to represent Mount Carmel College in cultural activities, and a friend in the team told me to try my hand at acting.
Radhika Pandit
If we treated ourselves as well as we treated our best friend, can you imagine?
Meghan Markle
I was raised with 'Laurel and Hardy' and 'I Love Lucy'

I was raised with ‘Laurel and Hardy’ and ‘I Love Lucy’ and Jerry Lewis, and I just loved it. And I had a friend in high school and we would just laugh all day and put on skits. You know, it’s the Andy Kaufman thing or the Marty Short thing where you’re performing in your bedroom for yourself.
Steve Martin
The thing that we need to move on from is any time you meet somebody, we always say, ‘Oh, this is my friend so-and-so. And, you know, he’s a Republican.’ You know, we always label each other as a liberal or as a conservative or as a Democrat or as a Republican.
Madison Cawthorn
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
Benjamin Franklin
The waste basket is the writer’s best friend.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
I like to think I’m a pretty good friend. I love having a good time, and I enjoy being able to share those good times with others.
Jacob Batalon
Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we’re too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.
Steven Spielberg
My first manager, Suzanne DeWalt, saw a play I was in. She was invited by the director Joan Scheckel, who was my first real acting teacher. Joan was also good friends with my friend Susie Landau Finch, who had first encouraged me to consider acting, so that’s how I began studying.
Gale Harold
David Fincher is a longtime friend. As a director, my wife had worked with him as a makeup artist when he would do Madonna videos years before, and his child and my oldest child were in preschool together, so we’re kind of dad-friends through that, too.
Anthony Edwards
I gave my archive to Emory University because there’s a really dear friend who teaches there, Rudolph Byrd, and he’s the editor.
Alice Walker
Keep your sense of humor, my friend; if you don’t have a sense of humor it just isn’t funny anymore.
Wavy Gravy
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Henry Van Dyke
I plan on being a friend, a good leader and a good governor over these next three years.
John Rowland
I am very busy, life is very busy, and I was, I think, a somewhat lazy friend. I love them, I know they love me, but I didn’t make much of an effort.
Jane Green
Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that’s not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.
Joe Manchin
Everybody needs one essential friend.
William Glasser
My ‘something borrowed’ was a stunning pair of vintage diamond drop earrings from my friend Afshin at Estate Diamond Jewelry in N.Y.C. My ‘something blue’ was my tanzanite right hand ring that I bought for myself in Tanzania after climbing Mt Kilimanjaro.
Brooke Baldwin
I would advise you to write, my dear friend, because with your active nature, solitude is simply intolerable to you, and after some time your solitude would become perhaps attractive if you were to people it with creatures of your own fancy.
Wilfrid Laurier
Success? You can’t get a big head about it. When people stare at me, they could be whispering to their friend, ‘That guy sucks! Have you seen him before? He’s horrible.’
David Spade
Coming out was crucial to changing attitudes about gays and lesbians: will people feel differently about abortion if they know their mother, their aunt, or their friend had one?
Katha Pollitt
The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.
Homer
Over everything, over friendships or anything, is my kids – and obviously fighting for that belt is my kids’ future. It doesn’t sound too nice, but if my mom had the belt, she better give it up because my kids gotta eat. If I’m willing to fight my mom, imagine a good friend.
Jorge Masvidal
I was a very good friend of Rajiv Gandhi, and I had affection for Sonia as his wife.
Subramanian Swamy
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
To find a friend one must close one eye – to keep him, two.
Norman Douglas
I ever will profess myself the greatest friend to those whose actions best correspond with their doctrine; which, I am sorry to say, is too seldom the case amongst those nations who pretend most to civilization.
John Gabriel Stedman
How do you bust out of the friend zone? It’s a horrible place to be when you end up there unintentionally with someone you have a romantic interest in.
Matthew Hussey
When I was 18 years old, I moved into Neneh Cherry’s house in Kensal Rise with Judy Blame and our friend Michael Boadi.
Edward Enninful
There was a period in my life when alcohol was a good friend. Then there came a point when I realized that it was definitely not a good friend. I haven’t had a drink now for many years.
Adrian Dunbar
I met Rubina at a friend’s house during Ganpati. I checked her out as she looked resplendent in a sari. You generally see girls in western clothes and then you get to see that someone can look so stunning in a sari as well. So I saw her and I was like, wow she’s beautiful.
Abhinav Shukla
I am a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother. I am a friend of women and I am their advocate.
Carre Otis
It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.
E. B. White
While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; howeve

While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind.
Mary Wortley Montagu
I shared a dressing room with Pete Postlethwaite for 18 months, and he became a good friend. His discipline had an impact on me. You could have a laugh with him, but he was always on the ball when it came to work and very professional. Hopefully some of that rubbed off on me.
Sean Bean
I know the crew so well, so I forget I’m being filmed. It’s like cooking with a friend in the kitchen – you’re talking, as you do, and maybe you’re telling her about this wonderful way to prepare lamb chops – it’s more natural, more honest.
Nigella Lawson
He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend; provided, of course, he really is dead.
Voltaire
People don’t appreciate music any more. They don’t adore it. They don’t buy vinyl and just love it. They love their laptops like their best friend, but they don’t love a record for its sound quality and its artwork.
Laura Marling
If I cannot understand my friend’s silence, I will never get to understand his words.
Enoch Powell
When I heard Elvis Presley, then I knew I had to do music. Music is my god, and is the only love that has never left me. It has always been there and is my best friend.
Ville Valo
John Cena’s match with me, the one that kind of got him hired with WWE, I remember they were there to look at John, obviously. He looked great – he was like the blue-chipper – and John was a good friend of mine, so I had no problem whatsoever helping him kind of highlight and do his thing.
Samoa Joe
When I was 12, my friend and I tried to sneak onto a plane from my hometown of Cleveland to New York City! My dad encouraged us – he was a wild guy, big on jokes.
Molly Shannon
You have to take control of the crowd because there have been times when they have scared people. The ‘Bayley: This Is Your Life’ segment – the girl who was Bayley’s best friend, the crowd was yelling at her. They were like, ‘Boring, what?’
Alexa Bliss
I have known war as few men now living know it. It’s very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.
Douglas MacArthur
Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.
Groucho Marx
When my sister Joan arrived, I asked if I could swap her for a rabbit. When I think what a marvellous friend she’s been, I’m so glad my parents didn’t take me at my word.
Maeve Binchy
A friend of mine said something powerful at his grandfather’s funeral. He said that the greatest lesson from his grandfather’s life was that he died empty, because he accomplished everything he wanted, with no regrets. I think that, along with leaving a legacy, would be the greatest sign of success.
Marvin Sapp
I’m a random guy. I shake a hand and make a friend. I don’t do egotistical things.
Vanilla Ice
In order to have an enemy, one must be somebody. One must be a force before he can be resisted by another force. A malicious enemy is better than a clumsy friend.
Sophie Swetchine
The tune ‘All My Friends,’ we recorded because our friend who wrote the song, Scott Boyer, passed way, and Gregg Allman had passed and he had recorded the song on his first solo record.
Derek Trucks
Emotions are contagious. We’ve all known it experientially. You know after you have a really fun coffee with a friend, you feel good. When you have a rude clerk in a store, you walk away feeling bad.
Daniel Goleman
The good man is the friend of all living things.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do think that fashion may end up being the ‘killer app’ for wearable augmented reality systems. This is in part because it’s not simply task-oriented – like finding a restaurant or where your friend is currently lounging about – but experience-oriented. It becomes part of your life.
Jamais Cascio
I was always lonesome. The only time I felt accepted or wanted was when I was on stage performing. I guess the stage was my only friend: the only place where I could feel comfortable. It was the only place where I felt equal and safe.
Judy Garland
Essayists, like poets, are born and not made, and for one worth remembering, the world is confronted with a hundred not worth reading. Your true essayist is, in a literary sense, the friend of everybody.
William Ernest Henley
I’m always interested in relationships between women. I’m always interested in how women relate to each other, whether it’s a family relationship or it’s a friend relationship. That’s such uncharted territory in cinema.
Greta Gerwig
A friend is one soul abiding in two bodies.
Diogenes
I’m friends with Taylor Swift, and I am tired of people asking me questions about our friendship. When I post a picture of us on Instagram, I’m posting a picture of me and my friend.
Sarah Hyland
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he’d rather be anywhere else.
Len Wein
Uniformity is the friend of scalability.
Karl Iagnemma
My first performance was in second grade with my friend Rodney Fisher, and we worked up versions of ‘Long Tall Texan’ and ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand.’ It gave me a little early confidence that I could actually do this music thing.
Lyle Lovett
Your best friend and worst enemy are both in this room right now. It’s not your neighbor right or left – and it’s not God or the devil – it’s you.
Edwin Louis Cole
There’s a Bible verse that says if you believe, you will be in the presence of the Lord in the blink of an eye. And I know Dale was a believer, and that means that he saw his son and his friend going to win the Daytona 500, and he was in heaven all within the blink of an eye.
Michael Waltrip
I’ve often liked a girl, made her laugh, and thought she liked me, and then found out that she didn’t like me that way. I’ve definitely done time in the friend zone.
Demetri Martin
We've no use for intellectuals in this outfit. What we

We’ve no use for intellectuals in this outfit. What we need is chimpanzees. Let me give you a word of advice: never say a word to us about being intelligent. We will think for you, my friend. Don’t forget it.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
In preseason camp, there are no friends. when newcomers arrive trying to take not only your job, but maybe your best friend’s job, you work together to try to help each other. Everyone is an outsider until you’re given a uniform.
Sue Wicks
It pays to know the enemy – not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.
Margaret Thatcher
I really didn’t want to rap; I was just a regular kid. My friend – his name is William Aston – we went to the same high school together, and he was rapping. He put out a freestyle over Chris Brown’s ‘Look at Me Now,’ and it was fire, and the whole school went crazy.
Lil Uzi Vert
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing… that is a friend who cares.
Henri Nouwen
Mom is really my closest friend and has been there at every stage. She is the adventurous kinds and made me travel by train alone when I was just five.
Shriya Pilgaonkar
Hunger changes you. As your body begins to claw at you, your stomach churning in anger, every person who shares a photo of the fancy meal they’re about to eat is no longer your friend.
Stephanie Land
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais Nin
Don Was is a friend of mine; we’ve done projects together over the years.
Aaron Neville
Plato is my friend; Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.
Isaac Newton
My father superintended the English part of my education, and to his care I am indebted for anything valuable which I may have acquired in my youth. He was my only intelligent companion, and was both a watchful parent and an affectionate friend.
John Marshall
I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.
Mark Wahlberg
When I was eight, I told my best friend I got a Hilary Duff autograph, but I just signed it myself.
Alessia Cara
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Unknown
I followed Evan’s career through the ’90s and went to many Lemonheads concerts in N.Y.C. Since he was my best friend’s family, he always felt like my family in a weird way.
Adam F. Goldberg
Typing and read receipts make a lot of sense for messaging. You write a letter, you put it in an envelope, you send it to a friend, and you want to know when they get it. It’s like FedEx – they let you know when the package gets dropped off.
Evan Spiegel
Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy.
Henry Fielding
My mother was a personal friend of God’s. They had ongoing conversations.
Della Reese
I even played bass for a while. Besides playing electric guitar, I’d also get asked to play some acoustic stuff. But, since I didn’t have an acoustic guitar at the time, I used to borrow one from a friend so I could play folk joints.
Mark Knopfler
Gabrielle Union is my best friend.
Hill Harper
That’s your best friend and your worst enemy – your own brain.
Fred Durst
My very first show that I ever did was a show called ‘Then Came You’. It became a huge hit – no, it didn’t. But it was a sitcom with some great people involved, and the story was about an older woman and a younger guy. I was the older woman’s best friend. I was 27 years old.
Miriam Shor
No man can be happy without a friend, nor be sure of his friend till he is unhappy.
Thomas Fuller
I’ve had my heart broken in a lot of different ways a lot of different times by different people – whether it be a family member, a girlfriend, a friend, just all types of relying on people, making yourself vulnerable to people.
Lil Peep
A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.
Henry David Thoreau
The trend is your friend.
Martin Zweig
A wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.
Elizabeth Gaskell
I grew up loving films and making stupid movies with a good friend of mine, who now actually has a career in a really prominent special effects house, so he’s still doing it. We just started messing around with a camera.
D. J. Cotrona
If you shake your fist, the other guy will shake his too. But if you extend your hand to shake their hand, then they will extend theirs also, and you’ve made a friend.
Ricardo Montalban
I’ve had tons of bullies who would call me retarded, even on my Facebook page. It’s sad and it really hurts. I want to tell people not to use the word. Don’t say your friend’s retarded when they do something foolish. If you have a disability, keep working hard. Whatever it takes, do it, and don’t be mean to people.
Lauren Potter
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
King Solomon
A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily,

A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
William Penn
I have never made a friend from whom I could not separate, and I have never made an enemy that I could not approach.
Tancredo Neves
A mistress never is nor can be a friend. While you agree, you are lovers; and when it is over, anything but friends.
Lord Byron
In misfortune, which friend remains a friend?
Euripides
I remember as a little girl I could tell you the name of the dog next door, but I couldn’t tell you the names of the kids. The dog was my best friend. I love animals. They give so much to you and demand so little.
Olivia Newton-John
I say find one true friend to help you get through the tough times.
Kelly Osbourne
Students shy away from Maths, but in reality Maths is the best friend of man.
Shakuntala Devi
Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.
Christopher Hitchens
People fear death even more than pain. It’s strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.
Jim Morrison
I have lots of friends, but I’m probably a terrible friend to all of them, even my family. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found myself with no friends later on in life. My friends become my enemies.
Ariel Pink
The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one.
George Gissing
I am a friend when I need to be a friend, a father when I need to be a father, a musician when music calls. I switch roles accordingly.
A. R. Rahman
Above our life we love a steadfast friend.

My mother was a Bloomsbury figure: a great friend of TS Eliot, Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell. My grandmother, Mary Hutchinson, gave her life to works of art, being an admirer of Matisse and Giaometti, whom I collected as a young man because of her.
Jacob Rothschild
A friend of mine tells that I talk in shorthand and then smudge it.
J. R. R. Tolkien
We learn our virtues from our friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.

I tell my kids, ‘I’m your father, not your friend – but I’m also the best friend you’re ever going to have because no one is going to care for you the way I care about you.’

Steve Jobs was a friend and mentor whom I miss more than I can say.

My lifelong friend and mentor Frank Barsalona is gone. And the music business as we knew it went with him.

Kay Redfield Jamison
Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
Plautus
One forgives the critic – perhaps – but never the good-natured friend.
James Payn
Drake was a fan before a friend. He already was a Cash Money millionaire. When opportunity came, maybe we put the most on the table. That was my thinking because I just thought that this was a very talented young man. We saw a future with him, so it was about him being comfortable.
Birdman
There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend.
Katharine Butler Hathaway
I have the most reliable friend you can have in American politics, and that is ready money.
Phil Gramm
‘Stay’ is a charming word in a friend’s vocabulary.
Louisa May Alcott

Thornton Wilder
If you have a resolution to go to the gym, it’ll be a lot easier if you get a great trainer or get your partner or your work buddy or your best friend to go with you so that you’re held accountable to yourself and to that other person.
David Kirsch
Zhang is a friend of mine: he said forget about acting and just do normal things in the movie.
Jet Li
I was living in London with my brother, and he was a fr

I was living in London with my brother, and he was a friend of Matt Marshall, who signed Tool. So we were the first people over in Europe to get the first Tool demo in 1991, and me and my brother immediately cottoned on to it.
Justin Chancellor
Look at Christ, my dear friend: His life was divine through and through, full of self-denial, and He did everything for mankind, finding His satisfaction and His delight in the dissolution of His material being.
Mikhail Bakunin
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
Joyce Meyer
When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you’re with someone, like you have a companion.
Annie Leibovitz
If you want a friend, buy a dog.
Kevin O’Leary
My daughter’s name is Neesyn Dacey but everyone calls her Dacey. Her mom chose Neesyn and I chose Dacey after she was born. The mother is a good friend of mine who I was seeing a while ago. We are no longer together.
Bode Miller
Rather than say he’s an atheist, a friend of mine says, ‘I’m a tooth fairy agnostic,’ meaning he can’t disprove God but thinks God is about as likely as the tooth fairy.
Richard Dawkins
If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.
Joseph Addison
Dane DeHaan, certainly, is kind of the best friend I’ve made through acting, in terms of another actor. He’s fantastic.
Daniel Radcliffe
It was from an old friend who thought he was dying. Anyway, he said, ‘Life and death issues don’t come along that often, thank God, so don’t treat everything like it’s life or death. Go easier.’
Thomas Arnold
Bette Davis was a close friend. She loved to have a good time.
Debbie Reynolds
In Positano, I like the San Pietro Hotel, which is run by a friend whose family has owned the hotel for more than 100 years.
Ivana Trump
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who’s your real friend? It’s the person who tells you the truth. That’s who my real friends are. So, you know, I think as far as our country goes, we need more people who will do that.
Bill Maher
I was never the ‘babe,’ so I knew I’d never get those big roles. I’d always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.
Joan Cusack
My best male friend is my best friend until he crosses me. We’re all protective of the self.
Neil LaBute
We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
Joseph Roux
My sporting hero was Drazen Petrovic, the NBA basketball player, who was killed in a car accident in 1993. He was a good friend, an unbelievable player, and I dedicated my Wimbledon win to him.
Goran Ivanisevic
When it comes to casting for movies, it is a priority that you cast right. The guiding principle must be what is right for the movie, that is the basis you cast someone, not because so-and-so is a friend.
Mani Ratnam
If you were my friend, I love you unconditionally. I like you the same way I like everyone else that’s around me.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Andy Warhol was a good friend of mine. We used to go to the Studio 54 nightclub together with the likes of Liza Minnelli, and we’d dance through the night.
Neil Sedaka
I gave Mitt Romney some donations for his campaign because he was a friend, and friendship came first. I’ve always been a Democrat, and I’ve had different views than Mitt Romney. I’m not Mitt Romney, and I think people will realize that when they meet me out there.
Stephen Pagliuca
If you have an ounce of common sense and one good friend you don’t need an analyst.
Joan Crawford
I bought a Jaguar when I was 28. I’d always wanted one. I had it for years, then my friend had it, then my dad had it. It was a good workhorse.
Sean Bean
Few there are that will endure a true friend.
Henry George Bohn
An uncle of mine emigrated to Canada and couldn’t take his guitar with him. When I found it in the attic, I’d found a friend for life.
