FRIENDSHIP


Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

This day I will marry my friend, the one I laugh with, live for, dream with, love  

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend. 

Two lives, two hearts joined together in friendship united forever in love

A mere friend will agree with you, but a real friend will argue. 


You May Be One Person To The World But You May Be The World To One Person. 

Life without a friend is death without a witness. 

A friend is someone, who upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.

May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend's forehead. 

  With true friends...even water drunk together is sweet enough.

Be slow in choosing a friend, but slower in changing him. 


Without friends no one would choose to live. 

The road to a friend's house is never long 


To attract good fortune, spend a new coin on an old friend, share an old pleasure with a new friend, and lift up the heart of a true friend by writing his name on the wings of a dragon.

Your worst enemy could be your best friend, and your best friend your worst enemy. 


Never shall I forget the times I spent with you; continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours. 


Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.


To the query, ''What is a friend?'' his reply was ''A single soul dwelling in two bodies.'' 

Choose your friends carefully. Your enemies will choose you. 

A friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keeping what is worth keeping, and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.


A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view. 

Choose in marriage only a woman whom you would choose as a friend if she were a man. 

Tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are. 


The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

  I need not fear my enemies because the most they can do is attack me. I need not fear my friends because the most they can do is betray me. But I have much to fear from people who are indifferent. 


  A faithful friend is the medicine of life. 

if you haven't learned what friendship means then you haven't learned anything 

  There are times when I think that the ideal library is composed solely of reference books. They are like understanding friends-always ready to meet your mood, always ready to change the subject when you have had enough of this or that. 


He whose hand is clasped in friendship cannot throw mud. 

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside me.



One who's our friend is fond of us; one who's fond of us isn't necessarily our friend. 


Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.


Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.


Between friends differences in taste or opinion are irritating in direct proportion to their triviality. 


  The trebling of the population in this small and impoverished country, flowing with milk and honey but not with sufficient water, rich in rocks and sand dunes but poor in natural resources and vital raw materials, has been no easy task: Indeed, practical men, with their eyes fixed upon things as they are, regarded it as an empty and insubstantial utopian dream. 


It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did. 


He who has not the weakness of friendship has not the strength.



To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.


  Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind, it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate--and quickly. 


A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend, before he knows him. 


  Friends, both the imaginary ones you build for yourself out of phrases taken from a living writer, or real ones from college, and relatives, despite all the waste of ceremony and fakery and the fact that out of an hour of conversation you may have only five minutes in which the old entente reappears, are the only real means for foreign ideas to enter your brain.
