One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
