Friends will be friends

Was reading Readers Digest today, and stumbled across this quote...

Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families -- Anonymous

Got me thinking...Dug up a few more...Enjoy!

The only way to have a friend is to be one. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
One who looks for a friend without faults will have none. -- Hasidic Saying
"Friendship is Love without his wings!" -- Lord Byron (1806) (hmmm?!)
"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost" -- Charles Caleb Colton (1825) (nodding our heads readin this one, are we?? :)
"There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom." -- William Penn
"An honest answer is the sign of true friendship." -- Proverbs 24:26
"Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen." --Samuel Paterson (I like these comparative quotes! :D )
"I have lost friends, some by death, others through sheer inability to cross the street." -- Virginia Woolf (deep wolf)

Saved the best for the last:

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.-Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) (STUNNING)

One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.-- Edward Bulwer-Lytton (And saying "ok fuck off" doesn't count here I guess...)
