Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a
slow ripening fruit.
There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a
friend with chocolate.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but
what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks
down.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are
the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
True friendship is when you walk into their house and
your WiFi connects automatically.
Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain.
It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning
of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
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.
There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true
friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn
to live for others, they will live for you.
Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It
has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to
survival.
I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's
to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't
be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue
that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.
The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing
is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away.
I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar,
but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow
rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
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 run over;
so in a series of kindnesses there is
at last one which makes the heart run over.
