Friends
are people with whom you dare to be yourself.
Your soul can be naked with them. They ask you to put on nothing,
only to be what you are. You do not have to be on your guard.
You can say what you think, as long as it genuinely you.
Friends understand those contradictions in your nature that lead others to
misjudge you.
With them you breath freely. You can avow your little vanities and envies and
hates
and vicious sparks, and your absurdities, and in opening them up to friends,
they are lost,
dissolved on the white ocean of their loyalty. They understand. You do not have
to be careful.
You can abuse them, neglect them, tolerate them. Best of all, can keep still
with them.
It does not matter. They like you. They understand. You can weep with them, sing
with them,
laugh with them, pray with them. Through it all --- they see, know and love you.
Count your age with friends but not with years.
Life is to be fortified by many friendships.
To love and to be loved
is the greatest happiness of existence.
God gave me you so I won't be blue, to keep me company
so there's no need to worry.
Through good and bad, I knew, I have a friend so dear,
so true, and that friend is you.
Friend
is one of the nicest things you can have,
one of the best things you can be,
a friend is a living treasure,
a precious gift, and that's what you are to me.
Friends
need not agree in everything or go always together,
or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy.
On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal things;
and in that sense it is more ideal and less subject to trouble than marriage is.
The greatest healing therapy is friendship & love.
A
Friend accepts us as we are. Yet help us what we should be;
a friend affirms us when we're weak and gives us strength to set us free.
A
friend is there when everyone else isn't, believing when everyone else
hasn't,
understanding when everyone else doesn't, loving when everyone else wasn't.
Friends
can be found everywhere.
hat's hard to find are friends like you who are beyond
compare.
So
long as we love, we serve; so long as we are loved by others,
I should say that we are almost indispensable; and no man is useless while
he has a friend.
Isn't
it funny that when you look at the sky during the day you can't see the stars
but its just there,
hidden! Just like a love for a friend, it may not always show up but its always
present.
Shelter
yourself in my arms, walk forward unafraid for I am here.
Against any army, over the sea, across my desert you shall be all that you
want...
but not alone for I am always here.
If
you're alone I'll be your shadow, if you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder,
if
you want a hug, I'll be your pillow, if you need to be happy,
I'll be your smile, but anytime you need a friend, I'll
just be me.
A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.
Friendship is made in life's garden, but carefully kept in the heart.
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
When
you asked God for a gift, be thankful if He sends not diamonds,
pearls or riches, but the love of real true friends.
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
A
friend is there before you know it. To
lend a hand before you ask for it
and gives love before you need it... and there you were before I knew it.
Be
a friend of thousand, be a lover
of
one, give your smile to everyone but give your heart to your only one.
Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen.
Colors
may fade, the sun may not shine, the moon may not be bright, heartbeats may
stop,
lives may pass but our friendship, I'll treasure 'til the day my heart stops.
Friends
are your angels. When you fall they help you up. They pull you close, not push
you away.
They don't judge you, they judge with you. I'm glad I have both an angel and a
friend in you.
Friendship
is like a special rainbow that never fades away.
A friend always brings sunshine to brighten you everyday...
so I am happy you are my friend.
A
friend will walk life's miles with you and nourish values sound and true,
though paths may sometimes drift apart, true friendship never leaves the heart.
There's
a golden bridge called friendship, that spans the river time,
and it links our hearts together, though separate roads we climb.
I
used to think we choose our friends, but I wonder now if we really do...
for none but God could have chosen for me a friend as nice as you.
A
Friend is a nudge when you are stuck, a guide when you are searching,
a raft when you are sinking, a smile when you are sad,
and a song when you are happy.
Friendship
is life's most rich and lasting pleasure. Life's riches are many,
but few can compare with the joy that I find in the friendship we share.
The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be a friend.
The
friend who can be silent with us in our moments of despair or confusion,
who can stay with us in times of grief and bereavement --
who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face us with the
reality
of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
