Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.
Some people standby you in your darkest hour while others walk away; only a select few march towards you and become even closer friends.
You try to get out there and live. I've always had good friends who've been very supportive and help make me feel good and grounded because I've never felt attached to the film industry.
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
If anyone is ever rude to you, then there's no need to hang out with them! Just find the people that make you feel good.
Friends share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand.
Friends tell each other what nobody else is willing to tell you.
The heart of a friend gives out sufficient light for us in the dark to rise by.
Don't listen to the malicious comments of those friends who, never taking any risks themselves, can only see other people's failures.
My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges.
Support your friends - even in their mistakes. But be clear, however, that it is the friend and not the mistake you are supporting.
I still have friends from primary school. And my two best girlfriends are from secondary school. I don't have to explain anything to them. I don't have to apologize for anything. They know. There's no judgment in any way.
The only good thing about times of adversity is that you realize who your real friends and fans are - and the rest go away - which in my mind is an OK thing.
There are two sorts of pity: one is a balm and the other a poison; the first is realized by our friends, the last by our enemies.
I made some friends for life, the way I usually make them. Any jackass can be pleasant company, but if people help you when you're at your worst, that's a friend.
At some of the darkest moments in my life, some people I thought of as friends deserted me-some because they cared about me and it hurt them to see me in pain; others because I reminded them of their own vulnerability, and that was more than they could handle. But real friends overcame their discomfort and came to sit with me. If they had not words to make me feel better, they sat in silence (much better than saying, "You'll get over it," or "It's not so bad; others have it worse") and I loved them for it.
Courage is freedom, and freedom is joy. Be fully who you are, letting the world get used to you - it will! Find a loving community of friends who support your ever-flowering growth, which is a lifetime proposition.
Beside him, making scarcely a sound, walked James, Sirius, Lupin, and Lily, and their presence was his courage, and the reason he was able to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
'Stay' is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.
All the people that still believed in me, after seven years - it's a long time.
Thank God there were a couple of people in my life who said, "Go on, go on - you can do it!
I just feel like, with growing up and having peer pressure and what society wants you to be and what you think you should do, I feel like it's really important to surround yourself around good, understanding, amazing people that actually love you for you.
I won't let any of my friends become a fan. To me, you're either a friend or you're a fan. That doesn't mean my friends can't support me, because they all do, but they can't treat me differently than they would treat someone else. None of my friends are in awe of me.
I've had the same best friends since I was five years old; they're still my best friends. I was never bullied. I was never made fun of.
Luckily I've had a lot of great friends that I've had for a long time.
