'One who fights back to back'
There Are Those Who Pass Like Ships In The Night
Who Meet For A Moment, Then Sail Out Of Sight.
With Never A Backwards Glance Of Regret.
Folks We Know Briefly Then Quickly Forget.

Then There Are Those Friends
Who Sail Together
Through Quiet Waters And Stormy
Weather
Helping Each Other Through Joy And Through Strife
And They Are The Kind That Give Meaning To Life.

"Stay" is a charming word
in a friend's
vocabulary.
.......Louisa May
Alcott.

We cannot tell the precise moment
when friendship is formed.
As in filling a vessel drop by drop,
there is at last a drop which makes it run over;
so in a series of kindnesses,
there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
.....James Boswell

Friendship,
of itself a holy tie,
Is made
more sacred by
adversity.
.....Charles Caleb Colton

The meeting of two personalities
is like the contact of two
chemical substances:
if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
.....Carl Jung

We cannot be separated
in interest or
divided in purpose.
We stand together until the end.
.....Woodrow Wilson

True friendship is a plant of slow growth
and must
undergo the shocks of adversity
before it is entitled to the appellation.
.....George Washington

Blessed is the influence of
one true, loving
human
soul on another.
.....George Eliot

The person who tries to live alone
will not succeed as a
human being.
His heart withers
if it does not answer another heart.
His mind
shrinks away
if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts
and finds no other
inspiration.
.....Pearl S. Buck

Friendship is neither formality
nor a mode: it is
rather a life.
.....David Grayson

Give me one friend,
just one,
who meets the needs of
all
my varying moods.
.....Esther M. Clark
