Friends



who are friends?
Friends are rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer.
A friend knows the song in your heart and sings it to you when your memory fails.
True friends are rare to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget.

A real friend is one who walks in when the world walks out.
Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with.
Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
Friendship marks a life more deeply than love.
Love risks degenerating into obsession.
Friendship is never anything but sharing.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain.
It's not something you learn in school.
If you haven't learned the meaning of friendship.
Then you really haven't learned anything.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you are going down.
Anything is possible when you have the right people to support you.
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Some friends are more loyal than family.
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Never leave a friend behind.
Friends are all we have to get us through this life.
A friend is more than a father, more than a brother.
A travelling companion.
With him  you can conquer the impossible.

A good friend is a connection to life.
A tie to the past,a road to the future.
The key to sanity in a totally insane world.
Friendship is the wine of life.

A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flower in your garden.
True friends are rare people who come to find you in the dark and lead you back to the light.
Friendship is not about who you have known the longest.
It's about who walked into your life, and said
"I'm here for you",and proved it".
