“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art\u2026.It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that GIVE value to survival\u201d <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
C.S. Lewis\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (1898-1963)<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
“Friendship’s the wine of Life”\u00a0\u00a0 (I like this one!!!!!!) <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Edward Young\u00a0 (1683-1765)<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
\u201cIf a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone.<\/address>\n
A man, sir, should keep his friendship in constant repair\u201d <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Samuel Johnson<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
\u2018There is no possession more valuable than a good and faithful friend\u2019 <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Socrates<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
\u201cOf all the things which wisdom provides to make life entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship\u201d <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Epicurus<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them our just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
George Eliot 1819\/1880.<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
“There can be no friendship where there is no freedom.<\/address>\n
Friendship loves a free air, and will not be penned up in straight and narrow enclosures.<\/address>\n
It will speak freely, and act so too;<\/address>\n
And take nothing ill where no ill is meant;<\/address>\n
nay, where it is, t’will easily forgive, and forget too, upon small acknowledgements.<\/address>\n
Friends are true twins in soul, they sympathize in everything.<\/address>\n
One is not happy without the other, nor can either of them be miserable alone.<\/address>\n
As if they could change bodies, they take their turns in pain as well as in pleasure,<\/address>\n
relieving one another in their most adverse conditions” <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
William Penn\u00a0 (1644-1718)<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
“One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are”<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Gail Godwin\u00a0 1937<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
“Of what help is anyone who can only be approached with the right words” <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Elizabeth Bibesco 1897-1945<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
“Each friend represents a world to us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born” <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Anais Nin 1903-1977<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
“One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are.”<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Gail Godwin<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
“When a friend speaks his mind you fear not the “nay” in your own mind, nor do you withhold the “ay”.<\/address>\n
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; for without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed<\/address>\n
When you part from your friend, you grieve not; for that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain, to the climber, is clearer from the plain” <\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
Kahil Gibran.<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
<\/span><\/strong><\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
\u201cFriendship, on the other hand, serves a great host of different purposes all at the same time.<\/address>\n
In whatever direction you turn, it still remains yours.<\/address>\n
No barrier can shut it out, I can never be untimely; it can never be in the way.<\/address>\n
We need friendship all the time, just as much as we need the proverbial prime necessities of life, fire and water\u201d.<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
Cicero (106-43BC)<\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
“There can be no friendship where there is no freedom.<\/address>\n
Friendship loves a free air, and will not be penned up in straight and narrow enclosures.<\/address>\n
It will speak freely, and act so too;<\/address>\n
And take nothing ill where no ill is meant;<\/address>\n
nay, where it is, t’will easily forgive, and forget too, upon small acknowledgements.<\/address>\n
Friends are true twins in soul, they sympathize in everything.<\/address>\n
One is not happy without the other, nor can either of them be miserable alone.<\/address>\n
As if they could change bodies, they take their turns in pain as well as in pleasure,<\/address>\n
relieving one another in their most adverse conditions” <\/address>\n
\n<\/address>\n
William Penn\u00a0 (1644-1718)<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
<\/address>\n
Man strives for glory, honour, fame,<\/address>\n
That all the world may know his name.<\/address>\n
Amasses wealth by brain and hand;<\/address>\n
Becomes a power in the land<\/address>\n
But when he nears the end of life<\/address>\n
And looks back o\u2019er the years of strife,<\/address>\n
He finds that happiness depends<\/address>\n
On none of these, but the Love of Friends <\/address>\n
