Friends

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with
the passing whisper of their wisdom.

Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our
hearts, and we are never ever the same."

~ Flavia Weedn

"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame
by another human being.
Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have
rekindled this light."

~ Albert Schweitzer

There is nought better to be With noble souls of company:
There is nought dearer than to wend With good friends faithful to the end.
This is the love whose fruit is sweet; Therefore to abide within is meet.

Mahabharata (B.C.400)

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends
will leave footprints in your heart.

~Eleanor Roosevelt

"A friend is someone who sings your heart's song back to
you when you have forgotten the words." ~

~David Collola

"The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being.
His heart withers if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts
and finds no other inspiration."

~ Pearl S. Buck

"Friendship is one mind in two bodies."

~ Mencius

"Friendship without self - interest is one of the rare
and beautiful things of life."

~ James F. Byrnes
