Welcome to my page on Friendship...Where would we be without
the love and understanding of friends...

A friend is a gift you give yourself.

The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.

When I have opened my heart to a friend, I am more myself than ever.

Don't walk in front of me
I may not follow
Don't walk behind me
I may not lead
Walk beside me
And just be my friend.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

A friend is a person with whom I may be
sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.
