What I like best in the world is Me and Piglet going to see you...
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant
of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.
Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.
Friends are family you choose for yourself.
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without
growing apart.
True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.
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.
Money burns, stars fade, but true friends are always there.
A true friend is someone who is there for you when they would rather be some place else.
It's really amazing when two strangers become the best of friends, but it's really sad
when the best of friends become two strangers.
It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love
a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving
words, that is friendship.
Yes, we are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential
chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the
paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you
very often. I don't want to lose this happy space where I have found someone who is smart and
easy and doesn't bother to check her diary when we arrange to meet.
The future lay sparkling ahead of us and we thought that we'd know each other forever.
Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
Friends are like pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, and sometimes you
lean on them. Sometimes it's just enough to know they are standing by.
If I had only one friend left, I'd want it to be you. Someone who understands me and
knows me inside out. Helps me keep together, believes without doubt. If I had only one friend
left, I'd want it to be you.
Never close your lips to those whom you have opened your heart.
I'm always strong when you're beside me; I have always needed you, I could never make it
alone.
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.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Friends help you move. Real friends help you move dead bodies.
Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer.
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of
companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone
else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked
certain quirks.
The real test of friendship is: Can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can
you enjoy together those moments of life that are utterly simple? They are the moments people
look back on at the end of life and number as their most sacred experiences.
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to
you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for ours to amuse them.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then
you've had a great life.
Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.
I do believe I know most of the best people in the world and you've all made my life
livable. . .
Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families.
Do you remember the first time we met? It seemed we came together in instant friendship.
We somehow knew we could lean upon each other, depend upon one another. It seemed as though we
had always been friends. . . We've helped each other through times when we never thought we could
endure. . . For as long as I live, you will always hold a place inside of me. Our friendship will
always be a very important part of my life. . . I look forward to our continued sharing as friends.
As I look back on all that's happened. . . growing up, growing together, changing you,
changing me - there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. As
I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you.
The past may be gone forever. . . and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of
tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that
you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the
future may hold.
You've changed so much. I guess that's what happens. I wish you knew how much you
changed me. I wonder if I changed you, if your life is different because of me. Because mine's
different. My God, you taught me so much, and now we don't even talk to each other. I guess
that's what happens.
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's run over; so in a series of kindnesses, there
is at last one which makes the heart run over.
Close friends love you for who you are, not what they want you to be.
Some people are so special that once they enter your life, it becomes richer and fuller
and more wonderful than you ever thought it could be.
Friends. . . they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.
