Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm & constant.
Socrates
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives and remembering what one receives.
Alexander Dumas
There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.
Linda Grayson
I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.
Jon Katz
Friends are the family you choose.
Jess C. Scott
The capacity for friendship is God’s way of apologizing for our families.
Jay McInerney
Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life–and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.
Dean Koontz
A friendship that can end never really began.
Publilius Syrus
Friends give you a shoulder to cry on. But best friends are ready with a shovel to hurt the person that made you cry.
Unknown
Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead.
Anna Cummins
