Friendship!

Some quotes on friendship that I enjoyed and wanted to share:

"I'm not strong.  She's not strong.  

But together my friend and I 

make the strongest force in the known universe."   

 -Linda Macfarlane

"The world is so wide and each of us so small - yet bound by friendship we are giants."

    -Pam Brown

"Friends are together when they are separated, they are rich when they are poor, strong when they are weak, and - a thing even harder to explain - they live on after they have died, so great is the honour that follows them, so vivid the memory, so poignant the sorrow.    -Cicero

"...the finest thing of all about friendship is that it sends a ray of good hope into the future, and keeps our hears from faltering or falling to the wayside."   -Cicero

"There are many routes into a person's heart which make you a treasured friend.  Each act of kindness.  Each moment shared.  Each word of praise or comfort.  These are the ways - the paths, which through time become highways, along which lie the journey of friendship."  -Stuart and Linda Macfarlane

"She's jolly insulting.  If anyone else said the things she says, I'd....

She's usually right, of course, and the best thing is 

that I can take any insult from her because 

I know she's on my side."  

 -Jenny De Vries

"To know someone with whom you feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts unexpressed - that can make of this earth a garden."  

-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

"Deft thieves can break your locks and carry off your savings, fire consume your home...fortune can't take away what you give friends: that wealth stays yours forever."   -Marcus Marial

"No one can give you back your youth.  But with an old friend, you never lose it."   

-Pam Brown

"It is the small, insignificant, simple gestures that make life bearable.  A smile, a touch, a word, a kindness, a concern."  

-Pam Brown

 -Kahlil Gibran

"A friend's writing on an envelope lifts the heart on the rainiest morning."

"A friend may move away - so far that you may never meet again.  

And yet they are a part of you forever." 

-Pam Brown

"To others, we will be seen as two old biddies kicking off their shoes, dumping down shopping bags, choosing lethal pastries.  But to each other we are ourselves, a little scarred by the passing years, but still the girls who shared a bag of toffee on the playground wall, we at least are not deceived by skin, spectacles and silvery hair."  

-Pam Brown

"A million billion words have been spoken about what friendship means but two good friends can be together without speaking a single word and know precisely what friendship means."  -Stuart and Linda Macfarlane

"When chill winds blow fierce, a friend acts like a torch, guiding you to safety, giving you warmth, comforting you till the storm is over."  -Stuart and Linda Macfarlane

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go...

Some people stay for a while and leave their footprints on our hearts, 

and we are never, ever the same."  

-Flavia

"I have had many friends that time and distance, change and loss have swept away.  I hold their memory, flowers pressed between the days - and breathing still the scent of distant summers.  But some remain - deep-rooted in my life and bright with living blossom.  A constant comfort and a constant joy."  

-Pam Brown

"Ah, how good it feels!  The hand of an old friend!"   -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"I count your friendship one of the chief pleasures of my life, a comfort in time of doubt and trouble, a joy in time of prosperity and success, and an inspiration at all times."  

-Edwin O. Grover

"Two people, yes, two lasting friends, 

The giving comes, the taking ends.  

There is no measure for such things, 

For this all Nature slows and sings."  

-Elizabeth Jennings
