A friend is a present you give yourself.
A true friend is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else believes the smile on your face.
Never refuse any advance of friendship, for if nine out of ten bring you nothing, one alone may repay you.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.
by Saint Philo of Alexandria
When a man begins to perceive the love of God in all its richness, he begins also to love his neighbor with spiritual perception. This is the love of which all the scriptures speak. Friendship after the flesh is very easily destroyed on some slight pretext, since it is not held firm by spiritual perception. But when a person is spiritually awakened, even if something irritates him, the bond of love is not dissolved; rekindling himself with warmth of the love of God, he quickly recovers himself and with great joy seeks his neighbor's love, even though he has been gravely wronged or insulted by him. For sweetness of God completely consumes the bitterness of the quarrel.
People who feel empowered by your presence become kindred spirits.
Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends : have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
Maybe people share their secret selves with me because they sense it won't make me feel uncomfortable. Quite the contrary. I always feel like I've experienced a miracle when it happens. I guess, because to me, to reveal one's true self, one's spirit self, is to reveal God.
Let your best be for your friend.
For this I bless you most. You give much and know not that you give at all.
I would never betray a friend to serve a cause. Never reject a friend to help an institution. Great nations may fall in ruin before I would sell a friend to save them.
To walk the earth in friendship is to embrace the highest human potential. Friendship bathes us with warmth and life while inspiring our soul to blossom.
Like birds landing on a tree top together, and then dispersing, we are together for a very short time, so it makes sense to live in harmony, in unconditional friendship.
Ours is a sacred imagination created from blessings above which if used in the spirit of love will guide us to walk the earth in friendship all our days.
'Stay connected to your source,every fortunacy radiates out of a source'...Emissary.
Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
A true friend is someone who will listen to you, laugh with you, and do the right thing for you even if you don't agree with it.
Being lonely is more friendly with two.
Is there some meaning to this life?
What purpose lies behind the strife?
Whence do we come, where are we bound?
These cold questions echo and resound
through each day, each lonely night.
We long to find the splendid light
that will cast a revelatory beam
upon the meaning of the human dream.
Courage, love, friendship,
compassion, and empathy
lift us above the simple beasts
and define humanity.
If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own
When you can't run you crawl, and when you can't crawl you find someone to carry you..
" Having one good friend is worth more than being popular amongst many ."
"The joy of friendship can calm the storm within the soul and leave a rainbow to show the promise of healing and hope. "
The only people you need in your life are those who need you in theirs.
"It's better to be hated for who you are than be loved for who you're not."
Ones inescapable desire to accept another's differences as...
Distinction
The fearless comfort in all that I do not know as...
Trust
The admiration of one's life journey as...
Respect
You excite me to transparency through...
The beauty of truth
You humble me to wisdom through...
The fortitude of understanding
Loving who you are in this moment through...
The exoneration of your past
This is no coincidence...
This familiarity defines true friendship...timeless...a decade later.

There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.
