Words of Friendship

-
  1.  Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure. Jewish saying
  2.  It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. William Blake
  3. The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. Ulysses S. Grant
  4. Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends. Mary Catherwood

  6. In prosperity do not rejoice too much and in adversity be not downcast. Seneca
  7. Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust
  8. What are friends for, if not to help you up when you fall, to wipe your tears when you cry, to laugh with you when you rejoice, and to sing for you when you've lost your voice? Shared joy is a double-joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow. Swedish Proverb
  9. We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over. James Boswell
  10. You are the kind of friend who would overlook my broken fence to admire my flavors. Anonymous
  11. Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth for he hath not another to help him up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
  12. Words are easy, like the wind; faithful friends are hard to fine. William Shakespeare
  13. Our friends increase the quality of our lives. Their presence causes our days to be filled with meaning. They lengthen our days, improve our health, and bring an enjoyment to our lives that we all need. Our friends remind us of what is special and lovable about us when the weariness of day-to-day existence has sometimes caused us to forget who we really are.
  14. A companion loves some agreeable qualities which a man may possess, but a friend loves the man. James Boswell
  15. Everyone calls himself a friend, but only a fool relies on it: nothing is commoner than the name, nothing rarer than the thing. Jean de La Fontaine
  16. Always set a high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you. Samuel Johnson
  17. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 13:34
  18. True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be last. Charles Caleb Cotter
  19. It's easy to tell a friend what he or she wants to hear. A polite acquaintance can do that. To tell that friend what he or she needs to hear - but won't like - is the price of admission for being and having a friend. Are you willing to pay the price when necessary - and to do it with great tact and tenderness? If so, you are worthy of the name "friend".
  20. True friends, like ivy and the wall, both stand together, and together fall. Francie Bacon

  29. Treat people as if they were what they aught to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
  30. Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. George Washington
  31. In times of prosperity, friends will be plenty, in times of adversity, not one in twenty. Euripides
  32. When a friend is in trouble, don't insult him by asking what you can do, think for yourself and start doing it. 
  33. IT takes a long time to grown old friends.
  34. Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit. Aristotle
  35. Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust
  36. There is no wilderness like life without friends; friendship multiplies blessings and minimizes misfortunes; it is a unique remedy against adversity and it soothes the soul. Baltasar Gracian

Psalm 32 - KJV

-
  The   Lord   is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the  Lord  for ever.

Before

 I ran into my past again A yesterday to see I rain into my memories Before I'd known me Before you were my best friend I didn't have to try Before you chanced your loving heart I hadn't learned to cry Before I learned you loved me And I new I loved you too Before my heart was broken Which I never though you'd do Before I learned that I could live Without you here for me Before I moved on from you For we'd lost it all you see Before I missed your friendship After months of so much more Before I learned the worth of it When I was hurt and sore Before I managed to stay calm When I ran into you Before I worried afterwards Had I done what I should do Before tonight I glimpsed there What we had before the end I hope that we can rebuild that For I love you as a friend. ~~ Justine Lescrocort
