Quotes about Friendship

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.

-- Kandra J Gardner

"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." 

Our present is being defined by every action that we do.

If you call me up drunk at four in the morning, no matter the time zones or state lines away, I'll be on buslines or burning up phone cards, just like I lived eight blocks away.

The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.

"There were two men standing across from each other, each in desperate need of a helping hand. They reached out to each other, but their fingers barely touched. The man on the right wondered why the other man wouldn't reach just one inch more. Finally, frustrated, he reached forward and clasped the other man's hand. When the other man tried to hug him, he stepped back.
"Why didn't you reach just one more inch?" he demanded.
The other man was astonished.
"One more inch?" he asked. "To me it seemed like you were miles away."

Light waves because it knows who I am.

If life is a path, we are barefoot and we each scatter before us the contents of two bags hanging from our shoulders.  From the first bag -- sharp nails of worry, fear, regret and doubt, or from the second bag -- rose petals of hope, joy, friendship and confidence.  If life is a path...we are the masters of that path.

Never make someone a priority who only considers you an option.

true friendship means knowing your needed even without being told

People who do not consider this little word, FRIENDSHIP,
is by all means described as a bastard.

(Of his nemesis, the late former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover)
It's better to have him inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in.

Keep your friends close...and your enemies closer.

Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate.

Butter up your boss, not your roll.

All is forgiven, move on.

A generous friend
gives life for a friend
let's rise above this
animalistic behavior
and be kind to one another

If I had a rose for every time I think of you, I would walk in my garden forever.

"Being a friend is to like a person for who they are, even the parts you don't understand.  The reasons you like them makes the things you don't understand unimportant.  You don't have to understand, or do the same, or live their lives for them.  If you truly care for them, then you want them to be who they are; that was why you liked them in the first place."

~Danielle Marie Crume

In your own life, you should take particular care with endings, for their color will forever tinge your memory of the entire relationship and your willingness to reenter it. 

Relationships may change throughout the gift of time, memories stay the same forever in my mind.

In the end its not the words of our enemies we remember but the silence of our friends

A friend is one with whom you are comfortable, to whom you are loyal, through whom you are blessed, and for whom you are grateful.

"Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare
False friends are like leaves, found everywhere."

"A friend is one who walks in when others walk out"

"I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends."

"A friend is one who walks in when others walk out"
