Friends

Went to a couple’s 60th birthday party celebration.  I’ve known them since 1976.  Thought I’d gather some quotes in honor of friendship.


True friends stab you in the front.
Oscar Wilde

The measure of a life is not position, or wealth, or even wisdom.  But the few kindred souls who share our dreams, passages, triumphs and tears.  Whose laughter is our music, whose faces warm us, whose hearts comfort and console us.  They are friends, and every life is measured by this possession alone. 
Lynn Kessinger

A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
William Shakespeare

We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet.
Even longer,' Pooh answered.
A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

A good friend will come bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying...'Damn, that was fun!’
Unknown

Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?
Abraham Lincoln

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.
Jim Henson, Favorite Songs from Jim Henson's Muppets

No friendship is an accident. 
O. Henry, Heart of the West

No human relation gives one possession in another—every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.
Kahlil Gibran

A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.
Elbert Hubbard

Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Mark Twain

Hmmm… is there a word for a friend that one has not yet met? 

Namaste
