"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 |

people who rekindle the inner spirit." ~ Albert Schweitzer
"Love
is like the wild-rose briar;
Friendship is like the holly-tree.
The
holly is dark when the rose briar blooms,
But which will bloom
most constantly?"
~ Emily Brontë
"The
tender friendships one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the
heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere
buried.' ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Southern
Mail, 1929
"What is a friend? A single soul
dwelling in two bodies." ~ Aristotle |

"Each
friend represents a world in us,
a world possibly not born
until they arrive." ~ Anäis Nin |
|
"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in
our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who,
instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to
share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender
hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of
despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and
bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and
face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who
cares."
~ Henri Nouwen

"The language of friendship is
not
words but meanings."
