A real friend is one who walks in
when the rest of the world walks out.
You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet.
But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are
your "friends".
Friends are one of God's ways
of taking care of us.
Treat your friends as you do your pictures,
and place them in their best light.
The road to a friend's house
is never long.
I keep my friends as misers do their treasure,
because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater
or better than friendship.
Never do a wrong thing
to make a friend or to keep one.
Friendships are fragile things,
and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious
thing.
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will
forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing.
There is a time for silence.
A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own
destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all
over.
Good friends are like stars....
You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart
and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods
when I nod;
my shadow does that much better.
Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and
smarter than you think.
We all take different paths in life,
but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other
everywhere we go.
Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say.
Best friends listen to what you don't say.
True friendship is like sound health;
the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare.
But he who has an enemy will meet him everywhere.
The only way to have a friend
is to be one.
Your loyalty is a great gift.
You must be very careful in deciding who receives it.
A good exercise for the heart
is to bend down and help another up.
If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship,
we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own.
It is one of the blessings of old friends
that you can afford to be stupid with them.
A friend
loves at all times.
Real friendship is shown in times of trouble;
prosperity is full of friends.
The best way to destroy your enemy
is to make him your friend.
There is no revenge so complete
as forgiveness.
The holy passion of friendship is so sweet and steady and loyal
and enduring in nature that it will last through a whole lifetime,
if not asked to lend money.
Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a
tree,
but in the hearts of true friends.
He who finds a faithful friend,
finds a treasure.
Hold a true friend
with both your hands.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we
are never, ever the same.
The best time to make friends
is before you need them.
The death of a friend
is equivalent to the loss of a limb.
A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of
one's heart, chaff and grain together,
knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what
is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest
away."
It is better to be in chains with friends
than to be in a garden with strangers.
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for
their labor -- if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow;
but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has no other to
help him up.
The greatest love a person can have for his friends
is to give his life for them.
A mirror reflects a man's face,
but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he
chooses.
Weeds never grow
on the path between friends.
Friendship multiplies the good of life
and divides the evil.
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As
in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes
it run over;
so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the
heart run over.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming really
interested in other people,
than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested
in you.
A friend is a present
you give yourself.
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy,
you must have somebody to divide it with.
A true friend is someone who is there for you
when he'd rather be anywhere else.
Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave,
and impossible to forget.
A true friend is one who overlooks your failures
and tolerates your success.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because
those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to
another,
"What! You, too? I thought I was the only one."
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild
beast;
a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound
your mind.
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is
that they can grow separately without growing apart.
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg
even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
Are you upset little friend? Have you been lying awake worrying?
Well, don't worry...I'm here.
The flood waters will recede, the famine will end, the sun will
shine tomorrow, and I will always be here to take care of you.
