Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.  Samuel Butler quotes When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advise, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. 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 a friend who cares. Henri Nouwen quotes A friend is a gift you give yourself. Robert Louis Stevenson quotes We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend Robert Louis Stevenson quotes Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one. Oscar Wilde quotes In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong Mark Twain quotes 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? Kahlil Gibran quotes The greatest sweetener of human life is friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover. Joseph Addison quotes Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking. Jessamyn West quotes |
