Your friends will know you the first minute you meet
than
your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.

    Richard Bach


There is no need for an outpouring
of words to explain oneself to a friend.
Friends understand each other's thoughts
even before they are spoken.

      Susan Schultz


A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.

      Ralph Waldo Emerson


Friendship is the inexpressible
comfort of feeling safe with a person
having neither to weigh thoughts
nor measure words.

      George Eliot


This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

       William Shakespeare


My friend, you let me howl at the moon,
when it's cloudy outside.
You don't laugh or put me down
but stand by my side.

       Rustic Rebel
