Quotes about friendship:
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks
out.
Some friends come into our lives for just a short time. Others come and
stay forever. Think about your closest friends. How long have you known
each other? Some people say that their spouse or family member is their
best friend. Others say they have known their closest friends for many
years. And some great friends haven't known each other all that long, but
knew right away that there was a connection, or bond, between them. Could
it be that there is a twin spirit out there for each of us?
What turns a stranger or acquaintance into a friend? Do you know right
away if you are going to like someone? Some people think that any stranger
can become a friend if they spend enough time together. That may be true
for some people. But one thing most of us agree on is that true friendships
seem to happen when people have something in common. Perhaps we see a part
of ourselves in our friends. Maybe seeing the good in them helps us to see
the good in us as well.
