THE BEST KIND OF 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.

The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.

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.


The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.


A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.

There is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul.
