A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world. Leo Buscaglia And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship And he answered saying: Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. Kahlil Gibran Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends. Virginia Woolf The bird a nest, the spider a web,man friendship. William Blake Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief. Joseph Addison Life is slippery. Here, take my hand. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindlysmile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someoneelse believes in him and is willingto trust him with his friendship.

William Shakespeare Friendship's the wine of life. Edward Young I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, who has sight so keen and strong That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll beyour 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. Author Unknown I want to be your friend For ever and ever without break or decay. When the hills are all flat And the rivers are all dry, When it lightens and thunders in winter, When it rains and snows in summer, When Heaven and Earth mingle - Not till then will I part from you. Chinese 1st century AD, translated Arthur Waley Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply. Pam Brown Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. Woodrow Wilson Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world. John Evelyn Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold. New-made friendships, like new wine, Age will mellow and refine. Friendships that have stood the test - Time and change - are surely best; Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendship never knows decay. For 'mid old friends, tried and true, Once more we our youth renew. But old friends, alas! may die, New friends must their place supply. Cherish friendship in your breast- New is good, but old is best; Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold. Joseph Parry We have been friends together In sunshine and in shade. Caroline Sheridan Norton Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art . . . It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. C. S. Lewis Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharingit. Cicero There's nothing more precious inthis world than the feeling of being wanted. Diana Dors Life is nothing without friendship. Cicero Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, But which will bloom most constantly? Emily Bronte Hold a true friend with both yourhands. Nigerian Proverb
