What Is a FRIEND?



A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.  ~Douglas Pagels



Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait for the answer.  ~Author Unknown



A good friend is cheaper than therapy.  ~Author Unknown







If I had to sum up Friendship in one word, it would be Comfort.  ~Terri Guillemets





True friends stab you in the front.  ~Oscar Wilde



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





But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely.  Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.  ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859
