Of all the gifts that life can send, there’s none more perfect than a friend. A friend whose smile and thoughtful way adds happiness to every day.

Always remember to forget the friends that have proved untrue. But never forget to remember those that have stuck by you. ~ Irish Blessing

Some friends are so precious they make you smile more times than there are stars in the sky, they are more precious than the most precious diamond and they mean more to you then all the countless memories that the two of you share in common in your hearts.

You’ve kept me honest; you’ve made me a whole person. I owe you everything, you … you owe me nothing.

There's not a word yet for old friends who just met. ~ Kermit the Frog

We were two different people coming from different lives. We ended up together somehow and somewhere. We found what each of us need with each other, and that’s what holds us together. But as we grow closer together, we don’t need those things to keep us together, because we will always be there for each other.

True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg, even though they know that you are slightly cracked.

Friends are like television. Some are like PBS and always asking for money, others are like the news with sad tales to tell every day, some are like that one station with the foreign language, you don't understand a word of it but you watch and listen anyway; and then there are the ones like commercials: always changing, ever so annoying and only seem to be there when you're bored, but every once in a while you meet someone who's like a really good movie of the week or a TV show you hardly ever get to see anymore because you're so busy. My point is: hold on to the friends that you care about and since we don't have a remote control to mute someone or just change the channel, pick your friends carefully.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world ... is what you share with someone else when you're uncool. ~ Almost Famous

When you feel cold inside, don’t cover yourself with a blanket … cover yourself with old pictures. When you are burning up, don’t turn on the air conditioner … turn on slow songs that remind you of then. When you are tired and need a rest, don’t close your eyes and sleep … close your eyes and dream. When you are hungry, don’t count the calories … count the memories. When you are bored, don’t watch TV … watch that video from way back when. When you forget what happened yesterday, don’t pick up the calendar … pick up for phone and call me. I will tell you what happened yesterday, cry at what happened the day before, and imagine what may happen tomorrow.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair and confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face us with the reality of our powerlessness. That is a friend who cares. ~ Henri Nouwen

So if I have to leave you, I want you to know that in the end, it wasn’t because I stopped caring. It’s because you stopped being a friend.

There is a defining moment in each friendship when you find out if they are your true friends or not … after that you either have a real friend or one less thing to worry about it.

I honestly think my friends are angels … why else would they stick around for me all this time.

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. After all, what's a life anyway? We're born, we live, we die. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that. ~ Charlotte's Web

A friend is there before you know it, to lend a hand before you ask it, and give you love just when you need it the most.

True friends are those who you can scream to at the top of your lungs from excitement and they feel just as excited as you. ~ Sadie Murphy

A friend is like the North Star; you look to them when you lose your way.

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

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.

Friends are the most important part of your life. Treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories. ~ Dave Brenner

Sometimes me think, "What is friend?" And then me think, "Friend is what your last chocolate chip cookie is for." ~ Cookie Monster

Whenever I'm down I know where my friends can be found, whenever there’s a doubt I just have to shout. He's my friend he's my alibi, my accessory to the crime, a bond that will never die till the end of time. ~ The Bouncing Souls

A friend is someone who knows the words to heart and can sing along when you forget the tune.

If all my friends jumped off a bridge, I wouldn’t follow. I’d be the one standing at the bottom to catch them when they fall.

Never explain: your real friends don’t need it, and your enemies won’t believe you anyway.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get others interested in you. ~ Dale Carnegie

When you’re with someone you trust in, never needing to pretend; someone who helps you to know yourself … you know you’re among friends. ~ Amanda Bradley

Know that nothing can ever change what we have always been and always will be to each other. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth. ~ Herman Melville

A true friend does not try to make you be anyone other than yourself.
