Friendship in Bad Times Quotes and Quotations
 It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.  True friendship is never serene. In time of great anxiety we can draw power from our friends. We should at such times, however, avoid friends who sympathize too deeply, who give us pity rather than strength. The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Adversity not only draws people together, but brings forth that beautiful inward friendship. A friend in need is a friend indeed. In times of difficulty friendship is on trial. A friend is never known till a man has need. As the yellow gold is tried in fire, so the faith of friendship must be seen in adversity. - Ovid Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity. He who endures penance and hardships for another delights in that person's company. A cheer, then, for the noble breast that fears not danger's post; And like the lifeboat, proves a friend, When friends are wanted most. There are moments in life when all that we can bear is the sense that our friend is near us; our wounds would wince at consoling words that would reveal the depths of our pain. Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along. Friendship has splendors that love knows not. It grows stronger when crossed, whereas obstacles kill love. Friendship resists time, which wearies and severs couples. It has heights unknown to love. True friends are those who really know you but love you anyway. Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with. There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend. A friend is someone you can be alone with and have nothing to do and not be able to think of anything to say and be comfortable in the silence. It's the friends you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that matter. Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking. Prosperity is not just scale; adversity is the only balance to weigh friends. - Plutarch
