Friends

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

Friendship

Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant,
and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

- Cicero

Love and Friendship

So long as we love, we serve.

So long as we are loved by others

I would almost say we are indispensable;

and no man is useless

while he has a friend.

-Robert Louis Stevenson

Friendship and sharing

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love.
Love risks degenerating into obsession,
friendship is never anything but sharing.

- Elie Wiesel

No Enemies

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Girl's Best Friend

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like;
and I'm sure he understands.
When he looks at me so attentively,
and gently licks my hands;
then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
but I never say naught thereat.
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
but never a friend like that.

~W. Dayton Wedgefarth

Sharing to a Friend

This communicating of a man's self to his friend works two contrary effects;
for it redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in half.

- Francis Bacon

Friendship

A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.

- Grace Pulpit

Friendship

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

-- Albert Camus
