A Virtuous Friend

It is important to choose the right friends, good friends can take you wherever you want to go in life, and the wrong friends can be a disastrous decision. A quote from The Pact sums this up nicely, “Friendship can lift you up, strengthen and empower you, or break you down, weaken and defeat you.” (32) This is why it is so important to surround yourself with positive people, and

"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." - Winston Churchill. (https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~rghosh/index/quotes/friendship.html)

“Friendship is not about whom you have known the longest, it is about who came and never left your side.” ~Unknown

This quote really resonates with me as I have had both the “glass thread” and “frost-work” friends but also friends who really are the “solidest thing [I] know.” This quote is so very important because you really need to find those people who are the solidest thing you know and will stick with

This quote illustrates how important friends are because if someone do not have a family, it means that the person does not have anybody to rely on others. The major job of a true friend is listening when others are depressed, this quote perfectly says it about and can be seen how for the friends gives hope

The mutual affection one feels towards another often leads to developing feelings of trust and compassion. These strong interpersonal bonds can induce people to sacrifice their most prized possessions or even themselves for the well-being of their friends. True friends are willing to stay with each other through difficult times. However, a person whom one considers to be a loyal friend can turn out to be a parasitical opportunist driven by selfish motives.

The concept of friendship and what makes a friendship may seem simple depending on what people look for in friendships. Some people may have friendships that are solely based on pleasure or it is because it is useful to them in their time of need or a friendship that gives the person both pleasure and usefulness. A person may have these types of friendships with different people. Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, brings up what the best kind of friendship is. A long-lasting friendship is the best kind (Aristotle 221). This is an important concept when it comes living a good and ethical life. It is not only important to know why some friendships do not last long, but it may also help a person figure out if the friendship they have with

The other aphorism that caught my eye is A true friend is the greatest possession.

Friends; the people whom we know, trust, and love. Friendship is an important part of all our lives, which is why I chose “True Friendship is Unconditional Love” as my credo. True friends will always support you, have your back, and pick you up when you are down. They are the people who, no matter the circumstances, will stay with you until the very end. Another reason I decided on this credo is because of my friends. They have always been there for me no matter what, through the ups and the downs, the thick and the thin. Without my friends, I would not be the person I am today; they have definitely changed me for the better. Since friendship is such a valuable aspect of life, it is also a commonly used theme in literature. Twelfth Night, a

"A good friend knows all your best stories, a best friend has lived them with you. See the difference?" -Unknown. Having a friend who has your back no matter what is a very special thing, not everyone gets a best friend and even fewer people get a best friend for life. One friend who has always pushed me to do my best and helped me up when I was down is Morgan. Morgan has been by my side since I was born and although she is two years older than me; she's always been a major character in everything I do. From learning to walk, to vacating my passion, she's been there through it all, even though she lives over 2,000 miles away.

When was the last time someone wondered about what is true friendship? True friendship means to me that they will always have your back.

In order to get through life, we as humans require a form of partnership. While this could come from a sibling or parent, it commonly occurs in what we refer to as friends. Two friends share a bond of mutual affection that they demonstrate though their actions. This manifestation of companionship is vital to emotional growth. A best friend can also provide emotional support and encouragement in both difficult and successful times. Most, if not all people crave this type of fellowship. In order to select a friend, one must carefully consider a person's character. Therefore, in order to fit the description of a best friend, one must be thoughtful, encouraging, and kind.

Growing up, my father always told me,” You are going to meet many people in your life, and though you will call them friends, they will eventually leave. The ones who don’t leave, even when you grow up, are truly your friends because the ones who care don’t leave. Keep your friends beside you, become friends you will have unbreakable bonds with in your own way.” The meaning of true friendship is more than just spending time together, it's about trusting each other.

I agree with the writer as the usefulness of friends can determine their level of significance in one’s life. Firstly, a friend who has the capability to provide the help required for another would be perceived as more noteworthy. For instance, imagine if Bill Gates offered to be your pal and forked out ten million dollars to clear your colossal debts, would he not be immediately shot up to the top of your friends list? Secondly, the level of closeness is crucial in shaping the rating of a friend. One would only consider another a good friend if both of

There are a lot of important things in life. However, one of the most important things for people to survive in this world is friendship. Without friendship, people can die of loneliness. What do you think about your friends? Do you like your friends? There are a lot of different types of friends. There are friends that I like and some friends with whom I do not get along. Friends with positive characteristics such as reliable, trustworthy and faithful whom I usually get along with are the one that tend to have more friends and the negative one whom I usually not get along with tend to be alone. However, friends with negative characteristic can also give us some good examples of seeing double sides of something, like, a character can be
