Friendship

The question isn't would you die for a friend, it's do you have a friend worth dying for?

Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job.

Friends are like stars in the sky. New ones may form and old ones may fade away. But no matter what, they shine a light into your life that will never be forgotten.

It seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are the ones rooted in friendship.

Remember the people you meet in life, and don't ever be ashamed to miss them.

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

Do not walk in front of me, I may not follow. Do not walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Somehow, the conversation mentioned your name. Someone asked if I knew you. Looking away, I thought of all the time we had together; sharing, laughter, tears, jokes, and tons more. And then without explanation you were gone. I looked to where they were waiting for an answer, and then said softly, "Once...I thought I did."

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump after them. I'd be at the bottom to catch them when they fell.

Friends are God's way of taking care of us.

I'll lean on you, and you lean on me and we'll be okay. -Dave Matthews Band

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.

Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

A friend is someone who dances with you in the sunlight and walks beside you in the shadows.

A friend is someone who knows all about you, and still likes you.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts, and we're never the same.

Be courteous to all but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. -George Washington

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive. -Anais Nin

Good friends are like four leaf clovers, hard to find but lucky to have.

There are those who pass like ships in the night. Who meet for a moment, then sail out of sight. With never a backwards glance of regret. Folks we know briefly then quickly forget.

Then there are those friends who sail together through quiet waters and stormy weather, helping each other through joy and through strife. They are the kind that give meaning to life.

A best friend is a sister destiny forgot to give you.

My friend, if I could give you one thing, I would wish for you the ability to see yourself as others see you. Then you would realize what a truly special person you are. -B. A. Billingsly

It's really amazing when two strangers become the best of friends. It's really sad when the best of friends become two strangers.

You were always there when I needed you, never left my side. Always there to lean on and dry the tears I cried. I could always talk to you; you never seemed to mind. Your words so honest and kind. I thought I’d never meet someone as special as you are. You’re my best friend in the whole wide world, you're my shooting star.

You may forget the friends you laughed with, but you will never forget the friends you cried with.

As the end of the summer draws near the truth is what we all fear because when all is said and done what we'll miss most are the friendships and fun. -Linz91@aol.com-cedar lake camp '99

Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow brings the end, but somewhere in the middle we became the best of friends.

Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. False friends are like leaves, found everywhere.

Hold a friend's hand through times of trial. Let her find love through a hug and a smile. But also know when it is time to let go. For each and every one of us must learn to grow.

When the world around me goes insane, you're here to remind me that a few good things remain.

So what do you think will happen when this all ends, will we be able to go back to just being friends?

Once upon a time there was a girl I knew, who lived across the street. Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that ever happened to me that mattered, in some way had to do with her. That day Winnie and I promised each other that no matter what, that we'd always be together. It was a promise full of passion and truth and wisdom. It was the kind of promise that can only come from the hearts of the very young -The Wonder Years

As I watch you walk down the isle at graduation I will be crying tears of joy, because you have finally made it and I am so proud of you. The second ones will be of sadness, for I know each step you take is one that will take you farther away from me.

Through all the lies, the sad goodbyes, the things we hide, the tears we've cried, through odds and ends, we've been best friends, though times have passed, the memories last.

Every now and then, we find a special friend who never lets us down. Who understands it all and reaches out each time we fall.

We cried together, we lied together and I swear, I hope we die together.

Got your back
You got mine,
I'll help you out
Anytime.
To see you hurt
To see you cry,
Makes me weep
And want to die.
And if you agree
To never fight,
It wouldn't matter
Who's wrong or right.
If a broken heart
Needs a mend,
I'll be right there
To the end.
If your cheeks are wet
From drops of tears,
Don't you worry,
Let go of your fears.
Hand in hand
Love is sent,
We'll be friends Till the end.

If there are times you need a friend to care, remember I'll be there.

A friend understands even when your thoughts aren't fitting into words.

Friendship and love hold no price, yet it is the most precious thing that you can own.

The pages may crumble, the pictures may fade but we'll never forget the friends that we made.

I'll remember all the laughter as we go our separate ways, but there's so much we're still learning and we cannot be afraid. There's a world outside our door and nothing's in our way, but if it's not what we're looking for, we'll meet again someday.

I'll never find another friend to replace you. No one will ever touch my world exactly like you did. No on who's quite so thoughtful, no one I cherish so. No one will mean so much to me, I just wanted to you to know.

Time flies by
Life asks so much
No wonder friends
Get out of touch
But in our hearts
Deep and unseen
Friendship stays
Forever green

We laugh our smiles and weep our tears, argue and fight, and share our fears. You know the secrets of my soul, and fill its void to make me whole.

Nothing lasts forever, not the mountains nor the sea, but the times we've had together will always be with me.

Friends are like condoms, they protect you when things get hard.

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget!

If you're really fortunate there are a handful of people in your life who mean it when they say, "I'll be there for you." -Dave Barry

A loyal friend is like a safe shelter; find one, and you have found treasure. -Sirach

Friends are there, smile or tear. Friends are there, happiness or fear. Friends are fun and friends are clever, and the ties that binds friends will last forever. -Harmony Davis

We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere. -Tim McGraw

My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life. -Lee Lacocca

People think it is a problem when they start to love their best friend, but your lover should be your best friend.

I believe in angels, the kind heaven sends. I have some angels but I call them best friends!

What is a friend? I will tell you. It is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.

Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love. –Robin Morgan

As we go our separate ways, I will never forget these days; All the good times that we've shared, and all the memories that showed we cared. But now it's time to split apart, and hold these memories in our hearts.

A friend is: Someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you today just the way you are.

Friends are like pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you.

A friend is someone who sees right through you and still enjoys the view.

There are only two kinds of friends and one is like you. -Amanda Hazlett

Throughout life you will meet one person who is unlike any other, you could talk to this person for hours and never get bored, you could tell them things and they won't judge you... this person is your soul mate, your best friend... don't ever let them go.

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I'll never have to live a day without you.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Strangers are just friends waiting to happen.

Friends are the bacon bits in the salad bowl of life.

How do I say goodbye to what we had? The good times that made us laugh outweigh the bad. I thought we'd get to see forever, but forever's gone away. It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

After all we've been through together. Good times, bad times, arguments, laughter...growing up. I've watched you change. I've watched you slowly grow apart from me. I've watched you make mistakes and bad decisions. You got mad at me for worrying. Then you decided to forget all the years we've shared together as best friends...all for this new life of yours that will one day, be full of regrets. I know you're going to get yourself into trouble. I can see it coming. I know you're going to need a shoulder to cry on...when you can't find one you're going to come to me. And well...I just want to let you know, that after all the shit you've put me through, I'll always understand why you did the things you did...you don't have to explain yourself to me. And I'll always be there for you. Always love you...And I'll be there when you need a shoulder to cry on.
