When you need their support
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." True friends stick by your side
“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” I hope you live to be 100
"If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you. Silence is golden
“True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.” — Distant friends come back together like no time has passed
“Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.” When they'll always love you
"A true friend is someone who will always love you — the imperfect, the confused, the wrong you — because that is what people are supposed to do."
. Friends are meant to make you uncomfortable
“Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.” — Some friendships take time
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
Conversation with friends is the best part of life
“Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.” — A friend is there to pick you up again
“A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going A friend is there to light that fire within you again
“In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” — When you are truly BFFs forever
"'We'll be friends forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet. 'Even longer,' Pooh answered." — What makes a loyal friend?
“A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they’re not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they’re not so bad.” —You friends will be with you even after they are long gone
“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart… I'll always be with you.” —It's easy to grow apart in life, but friends are there till the end
“Growing apart doesn’t change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I’m glad for that.”
A friend is a fellow human standing by your side
“One’s friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.”
When they are always there for you, and vice versa
"Sitting silently beside a friend who is hurting may be the best gift we can give."
Friends don't need to talk to communicate with each other
“One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.” — Don't idolize your friends
"Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don’t over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness. Friends are for the soul
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”When you want to make sure they know
"You've got a friend in me." — Randy Newman, "You've Got A Friend In Me" from Toy Story
How do you tell the difference between a real friend and a fake one?
“You can always tell a real friend: when you’ve made a fool of yourself he doesn’t feel you’ve done a permanent job.”
Friendship is what keeps you sane
“Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.” —Friends already know the answer
“Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer.” A friend knows you through and through
“A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.” Consider yourself lucky if you have a good friend
“Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.” Friends are parts of us
“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." — You'll never be alone if you're your own friend
“If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.”
Friends are cracked too
“A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.”
Treasure your friendships, because they are breakable too
“Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way.”
