Here's to the tears of friendship. May they crystalize as they fall and be worn as gems in
memory of those we love.
Friends are like television. Some are like PBS and always asking for money. Others are
like the news with sad tales to tell everyday; some are like that one station with the foreign
language - you don't understand a word of it, but you listen and watch anyway. And then there
are the ones like the commercials, always changing, ever-so-annoying and only seem to be there
when you are bored. But every once and a while you meet someone who's like a really good movie
of the week or that one t.v. show you hardly ever get to see anymore because you're so busy. My
point is hold on to the friends you care about and since we don't have a remote control to mute
someone or just change the channel, pick your friends carefully.
Everyone sees who you appear to be, but only a select few know who you really are.
There are two things in life that one must never lose: a sense of humor and the love of a
best friend.
Friendship is not only doing something for someone, but it is caring for someone, which is
what every person needs.
Odd how much it hurts when a friend moves away and leaves behind only silence.
I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
If I had one gift that I could give you, my friend, it would be the ability to see yourself
as others see you because only then would you know how extremely special you are.
I've learned that no matter how good a friend someone is, they're going to hurt you every
once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
A friend doesn't stand by and watch the other self destruct. You're on your own for that.
There comes a time in life when you realize that your friends aren't really your friends,
then you realize they're the only friends you've got.
Never kiss a friend. If you have deeper feelings, never reveal them. You will lose that
friend forever.
Friendship: a building contract you sign with laughter and break with tears.
Remember me with smiles and laughs, for that's how I'll remember you. If you can only
remember me in sadness and tears, then don't remember me at all.
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
It's easy to say you will die for a friend, but it's hard to find one worth dying for.
When you're up, your friends know who you are. When you're down, you know who your friends
are.
When you feel that everything's going wrong and there's nothing left to live for, I'll be
there to pick you up again; we'll walk the road together.
Friends are not the people you meet at the top; they are the people who were with you at
the bottom.
I have you for a friend so what else is new - a friend is a friend and I have a few. You're
the friend like all the rest, but why do I like you best? I do not understand. Of all the people
around, it's you I want to be with. Maybe, it's because with you I'm me and not just somebody
that others want me to be. Or is it because you like me and I like it when you like me? Or is
it because we have something in common. That we find each other not just another person but an
image of our own selves? Whatever the reason behind this friendship, whatever binds us together,
you will be my friend. My very best-friend.
A friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view.
Every now and then, we find a special friend, who never lets us down, who understands it
all, reaches out each time you fall. You are the best friend that I found. I know you can't stay,
but part of you will never go away. I'll make a wish for you and hope it will come true, that
life will be kind to such a gentle mind. And if you lose your way, think back on yesterday.
Remember me this way.
Friends find comfort in what they share and delight in how they differ.
I haven't seen you in a while, yet I often imagine all your expressions. I haven't spoken
to you recently, but many times I hear your thoughts. Good friends must not always be together.
It is the feeling of oneness, when distant, that proves a lasting friendship.
It's no good trying to keep up old friendships. It's painful for both sides. The fact is,
one grows out of people.
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find
that it is those who, instead of giving much advise, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to
share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent
with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,
who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness,
that is a friend who cares.
The best friend isn't the one that helps wipe your tears, but the one that doesn't make you
cry.
Though we drifted apart in distance I still think of you as being right here. And although
we have many new friends, it is our friendship that means the most to me.
When you first meet people all you notice are the differences between you and them, but as
time passes you start noticing the similarities. I guess that's how all friendships begin.
Friendship is not created by what we give, but more by what we share. It makes a whole
world of things easier to bear.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints
on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.
There's people you've known forever. Who like. . . know you. . . in this way that other
people can't. Because they've seen you change. They've let you change.
We seek the comfort of another. Someone to share the life we choose. Someone to help us
through the never-ending attempt to understand ourselves, and in the end, someone to comfort us
along the way.
The best mirror is an old friend.
In a parallel universe, we're probably a scorching couple. . .
But in this one. . . friends.
Once in age, God sends to us a friend who loves in us, not a false-imagining, an unreal
character, but, looking through thr rubbish of our imperfections, loves in us the divine ideal of
our nature, - loves, not the man that we are, but the angel that we may be.
We can never replace a friend. When a man is fortunate enough to have several, he finds
they are all different. No one has a double in friendship.
When a friend asks, there is no tomorrow.
True, I have friends, a few, each one is a soul in two bodies.
True happiness exists not in a multitude of friends, but in worth and choice.
You are, and always shall be, my friend.
