Each person on his own life path wants and strives to find happiness. And everyone puts their understanding in this word. But, probably, no one will argue that one of the important components of happiness is friendship. True, true friendship, like true love, the phenomenon is quite rare. And a quote from Marlene Dietrich even says that friendship unites people much more than love.

Trust, patience and reciprocity are what really builds on friendly relations... And quotes about friendship will prove it to you.

In friendship, one must 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 a faithful and sincere, spiritually rich and comprehensively developed person as their friend. And for this you have to be like that yourself. The ancient Greek poet Euripides, whom they love to quote, even before our era formulated: "Tell me who your friend is, and I will tell you who you are."

Of course, this doesn't always work. Let us quote the French philosopher Paul Valéry: “Don't judge a person by his friends. They were perfect in Judas. " But I want to believe that this is still an exception to the rule.

Friendship is such a great feeling that great people have often talked about it. Poets, writers and philosophers have taken up this topic frequently. That's why there are so many wise quotes and aphorisms about friendship.

Video: beautiful words about friends

Friendship is a relationship in which a person is immersed in childhood. Playing in the yard, children begin to make friends, then friends appear in the kindergarten, at school, in the student environment. At work, finding a friend is already much more difficult, as a rule, by this time a person already has friends, and possibly an experience of betrayal, so he is in no hurry to let someone get too close to him. In addition, the spirit of superiority and competition is always boiling at work, so it's good if friends are not bound by a common occupation - then they have nothing to share.

Friends are not just people you can meet to chat and have fun. Friends are, first of all, people to whom you are ready to open your soul. A true friend will never be jealous, but, on the contrary, will only rejoice at the achievements of a friend. A friend is a person who always speaks the truth, perhaps even criticizes in private, but in front of others he will never dare to talk about the shortcomings of his friend. A friend is a person who believes in you, who can give a magic kick and say that everything will work out for you!

About betrayal

You will not understand anything in friendship until you are betrayed by a friend who was the best.

Friendship must go through difficulties to become real. If one does not endure them and betrays them, then there was no friendship ...

When you are in a car with money -
Friends shake you in their arms.
When you buy them wine -
They laugh with you at the same time ...
You make gifts, you hurry to them,
You are worried and value your friendship.
You come and help them in trouble.
You are crying ... And where are your friends today?
When not by car, but in debt.
When not above the ground, but at the feet.
Take a closer look who is next to you,
Is this a friend given by fate?
And those who laughed in unison
And spent a million with you
Today they will also laugh,
To discuss you with your enemy.

The more money you have, the more "friends" you will have ...
