In the spirit of thankfulness this time of year, the Canterbury Classics team has been compiling a list of everything we’re thankful for. One thing is for certain: friends and classic literature definitely hold top spots on that very long list!
Before you attend any Friendsgivings this season, take a moment to read these quotes about friendship from our favorite classic novels.
“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It’s splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”
“Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.” “A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.” “Jo's eyes sparkled, for it is always pleasant to be believed in, and a friend's praise is always sweeter than a dozen newspaper puffs.”
Cicero aka Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.): "A friend is, as it were, a second self." Epicurus (341–270 B.C.): “It is not so much our friends' help that helps us as it is, as the confidence of their help.” Euripides (c. 484–c.
Muhammad Ali. “Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.”
“Cheers to five incredible years of friendship and endless memories!” “In five years, you've become more than just a friend; you're family.” “Here's to the incredible bond we've built over the past five years.
Friends are the sisters and brothers we never had, and are by our side through life's ups and downs. It feels great to celebrate our friends for special occasions or simply brighten their day just because.
A friend to all is a friend to none. Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
“Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life--and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.”
“Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.” “Two things you will never have to chase: True friends and true love.” “Time doesn't take away from friendship, nor does separation.” “The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.”
“Friends Forever, Never Apart, Maybe in Distance, But Never at Heart.” “Side by Side or Miles Apart, Best Friends Stay Close to the Heart.” “True Friendship: A Journey Without an End.” “Best Friends: The Family We Choose for Ourselves.”
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
