The Value of True Friendship

The best mirror is an old friend.

A friend is more to be longed for than the light; I speak of a genuine one. And wonder not: for it were better for us that the sun should be extinguished, than that we should be deprived of friends; better to live in darkness, than to be without friends

Your friends are a reflection of you.

True friends are to people what lighthouses are to ships. No matter how stormy it gets, they stay put and light our way.

A friend is like a mirror: he’s the one who reflects your light most accurately. However, a close friend not only reflects your self but enhances and embellishes it.

Friends hold a mirror up to each other; through that mirror they can see each other in ways that would not otherwise be accessible to them, and it is this mirroring that helps them improve themselves as persons.

That's your friend. My husband is my best friend. He's not the mirror that holds up my flaws. He's just the guy who's like, 'I think you're terrific'... It's just simple, showing up for each other.

This is the real and the only reason for friendship: to provide a mirror so the other person can contemplate his image from the past, which, without the eternal blah-blah of memories between pals, would long ago have disappeared.

A friend is more to be longed for than the light; I speak of a genuine one. And wonder not: for it were better for us that the sun should be extinguished, than that we should be deprived of friends; better to live in darkness, than to be without friends.

Friendship as Reflection

A friend is like a mirror: he’s the one who reflects your light most accurately. However, a close friend not only reflects your self but enhances and embellishes it.

Since our technology is really just an extension of ourselves, we don’t have to have contempt for its manipulability in the way we might with actual people. It’s all one big endless loop. We like the mirror and the mirror likes us. To friend a person is merely to include the person in our private hall of flattering mirrors.

A friend is a mirror. You unknowingly see yourself in him or her.

Friends hold a mirror up to each other; through that mirror they can see each other in ways that would not otherwise be accessible to them, and it is this mirroring that helps them improve themselves as persons.

The most effective mirror is definitely an previous good friend.

The most faithful mirror is an old friend.

A friend who won’t respond to what a friend can’t ask is like a looking glass in which you cannot see yourself.

Betrayal and False Friends

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, some associates are nothing but shadow friends. When adversities cast shadow over us they stop pretending and become their real selves.

SADLY Friends are sometimes like shadows.When you walk in the light, they follow you.And when you fall into darkness, they leave you.

False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.

I know how difficult it can be when the image you've had of something doesn't match its reality; when the friend beside you turns into a monster.

I know how difficult it can be when the image you’ve had of something doesn’t match its reality; when the friend beside you turns into a monster.

A false friend is like the shadow of a sundial.

Friendship in Adversity

Friends do not cast shade in order to shine. Remember that. I used to put up with my closest friends throwing shade all the time, because, I WANTED THEM TO SHINE. But then I learned that when you give other people the space to shine at your own expense, you're slowly committing suicide. True friends mutually desire the other to shine without the need to cast shade or throw the other under a bus.

Only when we are thrust into the deepest and most terrible corner of life, do we see our real friends emerge from the shadows , one by one- shining the light of comfort and hope. Those are the ONLY friends that matter.

A friend won't always be there, at times you are on your own, but alone you still may find light.

When we are in the dark, true friends are like a ray of light from heaven, it is for us to follow it or not.

A true friend is a light in the dark. Viven

A True Friend who leaves heart felt messages, can be a lighthouse to others, sharing light and truth, which comes from their heart.

A true friend is a light in the dark. Viven.

Other

For many years my best friend was an invisible presence that would go everywhere with me.

The most reliable friend you have is your shadow.

Diaries can be best friends of any human being. They are always there. They are patient. They don't judge after you tell them about your fears, insecurities or secrets. Moreover, they don't call you a 'Bitch' or 'Slut' straight in your face. But isn't it a drawback too? No replies! Even when its pages get all wet with your tears, they don't tell you that things will be fine.

The best friend that I ever had was invisible.

The Best Mirror Is An Old Friend”.

True friends are not mirrors where we can always see ourselves reflected in a positive light.

Mirror is the best friend of a woman

We were once a friendship group of three individuals – three equals, three devoted but platonic points of a triangle – and now we're a breathlessly in love couple (them) and a person who spends her Saturday night taking photos of the back of her head in a mirror so she can understand what it's like to see herself from behind (me).

In old age, mirror is not a friend!

Crystals are like friends”. When you first make a new friend, you naturally sum up who they are by what they like and dislike, associate with and have an affinity towards. They are beautiful to look at, great to meditate and relax with and are soothing and comforting. Just like an old friend.

I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning.
