"The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no
wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he
will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?"
---Henry David Thoreau
"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly
smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration
that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him
and is williing to trust him." -"The first general rule for friendship is to be a friend, to be open,natural, interested; the second rule is to take time for friendship. Friendship, after all, is what life is finally about."
---Nels J.S. Ferre --Ralph Waldo Emerson
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and
tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will
have been all of these."
---George Washington Carver
"I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and
everything, and I will always care. Through weakness and strength,
happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse, I will love you with every
beat of my heart."
---Shania Twain, "From This Moment On
"The next time you see someone you think is a loser, reserve criticism and save your harsh words. Instead, offer up some encouragement. You never know, you may just turn someone's life around."
---Lisa Cartwright
