FRIENDSHIP
The language of friendship is not words but meanings. -
Henry David Thoreau
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs
for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we
live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a
mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was
trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a
little of that. -"Charlotte's Web" E.B. White
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on - Section of "Lean on Me" lyrics by Bill
Withers
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend - Section of "You've Got a Friend" lyrics by
Carole King
A true friend is someone who thinks you are a good egg even
though he knows that you are slightly cracked. - Bernard Meltzer
There's a miracle called friendship
that dwells within the heart
and you don't know how it happens
or how it gets its start
but the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
and you realize that friendship
is God's special gift - B.J.Morbitzer
A life richly blessed is one encircled by true friends. -
