A friend should be one

in whose understanding and virtue

we can equally confide,

and whose opinion we can value at

for its justness and its sincerity.

* * * * *

A friendship can weather

most things and thrive in thin soil;

but it needs a little much

of letters and phone calls and small,

silly presents every so often -

just to save it from drying out completely.

* * * * *

A friendship founded on business

is better than a business founded on friendship.

* * * * *

A true friend never gets in your way

unless you happen to be going down.

* * * * *

An insincere and evil friend

is more to be feared than a wild beast;

a wild beast may wound your body,

but an evil friend will wound your mind.

* * * * *

Be courteous to all,

but intimate with few,

and let those few be well tried

before you give them your confidence.

* * * * *

But friendship is precious,

not only in the shade,

but in the sunshine of life,

and thanks to a benevolent arrangement

the greater part of life is sunshine.

* * * * *

Don't walk behind me;

I may not lead.

Don't walk in front of me;

I may not follow.

Just walk beside me and be my friend.

* * * * *

Friendship is held to be the

severest test of character.

It is easy, we think, to be loyal

to a family and clan,

whose blood is in your own veins.

* * * * *

Friendship is unnecessary,

like philosophy, like art...

It has no survival value;

rather it is one of those things

that give value to survival.

* * * * *

Friendship needs no words -

it is solitude delivered

from the anguish of loneliness.

* * * * *

Friendship is not something

you learn in school.

But if you haven't learned

the meaning of friendship,

you really haven't learned anything.

* * * * *

I always felt that the great high privilege,

relief and comfort of friendship

was that one had to explain nothing.

* * * * *

I don't need a friend

who changes when I change

and who nods when I nod;

my shadow does that much better.

* * * * *

I have friends in overalls

whose friendship I would not swap

for the favor of the kings of the world.

* * * * *

I value the friend who for me

finds time on his calendar,

but I cherish the friends

who for me does not consult his calendar.

* * * * *

If instead of a gem,

or even a flower,

we should cast the gift of a loving

thought into the heart of a friend,

that would be giving as the angels give.

* * * * *

If it's very painful for you

to criticize your friends -

you're safe in doing it.

But if you take the slightest pleasure in it,

that's the time to hold your tongue.

* * * * *

In everyone's life,

at some time,

our inner fire goes out.

It is then burst into flame

by an encounter with another human being.

We should all be thankful

for those people

who rekindle the inner spirit.

* * * * *

It is important to our friends

to believe that we are

unreservedly frank with them,

and important to friendship that we are not.

* * * * *

It is not so much our friends' help

that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

* * * * *

Let us be grateful to people

who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners

who make our souls blossom.

* * * * *

Lots of people want

to ride with you in the limo,

but what you want is someone

who will take the bus with you

when the limo breaks down.

* * * * *

Many person has held close,

throughout their entire lives,

two friends that always

remained strange to one another,

because one of them attracted

by virtue of similarity,

the other by difference.

* * * * *

Nothing so fortifies a friendship

as a belief on the part

of one friend that

he is superior to the other

* * * * *

Of all things which wisdom provides

to make life entirely happy,

much the greatest

in the possession of friendship.

* * * * *

One's friends are the part

of the human race

with which one can be human.

* * * * *

She is a friend of mind.

She gather me, man.

The pieces I am,

she gather them

and give them back to me

in all the right order.

It's good, you know,

when you got a woman

who is a friend of your mind.

* * * * *

Silences make the real conversations

between friends.

Not the saying

but the never needing

to say is what counts.

* * * * *

Since there are nothing

so well worth having as friends,

never lose a chance to make them. * * * * *

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 healing, not curing...

that is a friend who cares.

* * * * *

The real test of friendship is:

can you literally do nothing

with the other person?

Can you enjoy those moments

of life that are utterly simple?

* * * * *

There is nothing on this earth

more to be prized than true friendship.
* * * * *

When a friend is in trouble,

don't annoy him by asking

if there is anything you can do.

Think up something appropriate and do it.

* * * * *

When we honestly ask ourselves

which person in our lives

means the most to us,

we often find that it is those who,

instead of giving advice,

solutions, or cures,

have chosen rather to share

our pain and touch our wounds

with a warm and tender hand.

* * * * *

When you choose your friends,

don't be short-changed

by choosing personality over character.

All marriages are happy.

It's the living together afterward

Almost no one is foolish enough

to imagine that he automatically

in any field of activity;

An ideal wife is one who remains

Any intelligent woman

and hurting each other.

But a marriage is three of us.

Don't marry the person

marry only the individual

you think you can't live without.

For years my wedding ring

has done its job.

It has lead me not into temptation.

It has reminded my husband

numerous times at parties

that it's time to go home.

It has been a source of relief

to a dinner companion.

It has been a status

symbol in the maternity ward.

* * * * *

How can a woman be expected

to be happy with a man

who insists on treating her

as if she were

a perfectly normal human being
