The miracle of friendship can be spoken without words... hearing unspoken needs, recognizing secret dreams, understanding the silent things that only true friend know.

You may poke a man's fire after you've known him for seven years.

May God defend me from my friends; I can defend myself from my enemies.

Hopes are planted in friendship's garden where dreams blossom into priceless treasures.

Yes, we must ever be friends; and of all who offer you friendship. Let me be ever the first, the truest, the nearest and dearest!

Be slow in choosing a friend, but slower in changing him.

Friendship is a priceless treasure never to be bought or sold -- it can only be cherished.

Precious gifts of friendship... knowing the heart of another, sharing one's heart with another.

I desire to so conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

The gift of friendship... a willingness to listen... a pair of helping hands... a whisper from the heart. That someone cares and understands.
