  1. friendship

    Friendship is a deep, quiet, enduring affection, founded upon mutual respect and esteem. Friendship is always mutual; there may be unreciprocated affection or attachment, unrequited love, or even unrecognized and unappreciated devotion, but never unreciprocated or unrequited friendship; one may have friendly feelings toward an enemy, but while there is hostility or coldness on one side there can not be friendship between the two. Friendliness is a quality of friendly feeling, without the deep and settled attachment implied in the state of friendship. Comity is mutual kindly courtesy, with care of each other’s right, and amity a friendly feeling and relation, not necessarily implying special friendliness; as, the comity of nations, or amity between neighboring countries. Affection may be purely natural; friendship is a growth. Friendship is more intellectual and less emotional than love; it is easier to give reasons for friendship than for love; friendship is more calm and quiet, love more fervent; love often rises to intensest passion; we can not speak of the passion of friendship. Friendship implies some degree of equality, while love does not; we can speak of man’s love toward God, not of his friendship for God. (There is more latitude in the use of the concrete noun friend; Abraham was called «the friend of God;» Christ was called «the friend of sinners.») Compare ACQUAINTANCE; LOVE.

  1. Commodore Matthew Hudson:

    As we mark the 70th anniversary of the ANZUS alliance, the friendship between our two countries is stronger than ever, the alliance between our two countries makes the world a safer place.

  2. William Shakespeare, «Much Ado about Nothing», Act 2 scene 1:

    Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love: Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues; Let every eye negotiate for itself And trust no agent.

  3. Geng Shuang:

    Sports exchanges have always played a positive role in enhancing China-US friendship and promoting bilateral ties, at the same time, whether it’s in China, the US or elsewhere in the world, an important precondition for such exchanges and cooperation is mutual respect.

  4. Steve Tesich:

    No birth certificate is issued when friendship is born. There is nothing tangible. There is just a feeling that your life is different and that your capacity to love and care has miraculously been enlarged with out any effort on your part. It’s like having a tiny apartment and somebody moves in with you. But instead of becoming cramped and crowded, the space expands, and you discover rooms you never knew you had until your friend moved in with you.

  5. Herschel Walkersaid:

    I take it as a personal insultthat people think Ive had a37-year friendship with aracist, people that think that dontknow what theyre talking about.

How to use «Friendship» in context?

For centuries, friendship has been defined as a Shared Understanding and Cooperation of Interest. This definition still stands today with the same meaning, as it does for people all around the world. Friendship is not about relying on somebody for everything, but about being there for each other in good times and bad. It is a relationship built on trust and respect, and it can last a lifetime.

Friendship is something that is priceless, and it is something that cannot be bought. It is something that comes from within and is born from the simple act of listening to and caring for another person.
