Friends and Friendships
A true friend knows your weaknesses, but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities. William Arthur Ward
Friendship is never established as an understood relation. It is a miracle which requires constant proofs. It is an exercise of the purest imagination and of the rarest faith! Henry David Thoreau.
Friendships are an important part of our happiness and happiness is an important ingredient of success.
A best friend is somebody who knows every last thing about you, yet still manages to like you anyway.
Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. George Washington
But every memory of friendship shared, even for a short time, is a treasure, like sunshine and warmth in our lives, like a cool breeze on a humid day, like a shower of rain refreshing the earth. Unknown
No matter how strong a friendship may be, it takes years to build the trust and seconds to destroy it. Unknown
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 the friend who really cares. Unknown
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. Ralph Waldo Emerson
True friendship is a lot like true love. True love is like gold and true friendship is like silver. Gold might be worth more, but silver can be used in many more ways. S.J. Poorbaugh
There is an important difference between love and friendship. While the former delights in extremes and opposites, the latter demands equality.
Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes is certain for those who are friends. Richard Bach
Nothing opens the heart like a true friend, to whom you may impart grief’s, joys, fears, hopes.... and whatever lies upon the heart. Francis Bacon
Friendships are different from all other relationships. Unlike acquaintanceship, friendship is based on love. Unlike lovers and married couples, it is free of jealousy. Unlike children and parents, it knows neither criticism nor resentment. Friendship has no status in law. Business partnerships are based on a contract. So is marriage. Parents are bound by law. But friendships are freely entered into, freely given, and freely exercised. Stephen Ambrose
