Friendship

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
~Flavia Weedn

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~Elisabeth Foley

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
- Anais Nin

A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself.

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

2) "Make new friends, both young and old, one in Silver, the other Gold."

3) "Make new friends but keep the old, some are silver and others are Gold"

4}"I have a hand, and you have another; put them together and we have each other."

True friendship is never serene.

Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.

Thus nature has no love for solitude, and always leans, as it were, on some support; and the sweetest support is found in the most intimate friendship.

Time isn't what makes a friendship last...It's love and devotion that keeps the tie between souls.

When the silences are no longer awkward, you know you are around friends.

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.

How do you know you've found your best friend. When you are ready to talk to them about anything, even though they know everything about you already.

A friend will break your heart, a friend will mend it, a friend will provide you with every feeling in the world, good and bad. A friend is emotion incarnate."

How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to.

You only meet your once in a lifetime friend... once in a lifetime.
- Little Rascals

"A best friend is a sister that destiny forgot to give you."

A friend is someone who reaches for your hand, but touches your heart.

A friend will be there for you when things are good...but a TRUE friend will be there for you when things are good and also when things are very bad...and just when it feels like you will never smile again...she can put a smile on your face with just with a hug!

When I'm asked what one happy thought is I always say knowing that no matter how big the fight is I will always have a best friend.

Love doesn't make the world go round, it makes the ride worthwhile.
-F.P. Jones

All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us.
-The Wonder Years

You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.

"True friendship is sitting together in silence and feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had."
