Friend Quotations
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
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.
Buddha
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
Abraham Lincoln
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
The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.
Abraham Lincoln
I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end... I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
Abraham Lincoln
The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.
Abraham Lincoln
Silence is a true friend who never betrays.
Confucius
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
Benjamin Franklin
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
John F. Kennedy
