The glory of friendship is not in the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is in 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

A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.

The greatest sweetener of human life is friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself - an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.

Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts or 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.

I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new

Trouble is a sieve through which we sift our acquaintances. Those too big to pass through are our friends.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone who thinks and feels with us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.

Friendship is like a flower
that blossoms in sun and shade
A friend who knows its value
will never let it fade

Life's truest happiness is found in the friendship we make along the way

A friend will always
 strengthen you with his prayers
bless you with his love
and encourage you with his hope

Its music may stop every now and then
But the melody goes on forever

Friendship is a precious thread refining, enriching and strengthening the fabric of our lives

Friend shares the memories of yesterday, the joys of today and the hopes of tomorrow

A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly,
takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably. ~William Penn

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born
until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. ~Anais Nin

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.  

When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for a reason you need them to be.  

Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

 
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person; and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Someone also said that the best way to keep friendships from breaking is not to drop them

For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation.

Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.
