Reflections For A Special Friend

There are many moments in friendship, as in love, when silence is beyond words. The faults of our friend may be clear to us, but it is well to seem to shut our eyes to them. Friendship is usally treated by the majority of mankind as a tough and everlasting thing which will survive all manner of bad treatment. But it is an exceedingly great and foolish error; it may die in an hour of a single unwise word.... ~~ Marie Louise De La Ramee

Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others.

Meeting interesting people depends less on where you go than who you are.

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 the breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~~ Arabian Proverb

We inherit our relatives and our features and may not escape them; but we can select our clothing and our friends, and let us be careful that both fit us. ~~ Volney Streamer

If you judge people, you have no time to love them. ~~ Mother Teresa

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