Much of the vitality in a friendship lies in the honoring of differences, not simply in the enjoyment of similarities.

No matter who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal, you will never get through it without your friends. But no matter how cruel the world maybe, life becomes less hard when you got a good friend. Love is blind friendship closes its eyes. What is a friend? I will tell you… it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself. Remember: No one’s more important than people! In other words, friendship is the most important thing–not career or housework, or one’s fatigue–and it needs to be tended and nurtured. The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. Not the saying, but the never needing to say that counts. Silence make the real conversations between friends. One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. Albert Einstein “įriends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer. However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them… your smile, your hope, and your courage.
