Friendship - Making A Friend

Making A Friend

Three significant factors make the formation of a friendship possible:

  • proximity, which means being near enough to see each other or do things together;
  • repeatedly encountering the person informally and without making special plans to see each other; and
  • opportunities to share ideas and personal feelings with each other.

Famous quotes containing the words making and/or friend:

    “Those who wander in the world avowedly and purposely in pursuit of happiness, who view every scene of present joy with an eye to what may succeed, certainly are more liable to disappointment, misfortune and unhappiness, than those who give up their fate to chance and take the goods and evils of fortune as they come, without making happiness their study, or misery their foresight.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “We never exchange more than three words with a Friend in our lives on that level to which our thoughts and feelings almost habitually rise.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
