The Gift of Friendship

I was reading some friendship quotes last night, and this morning out of a little book i bought at a really old bookstore one day. :) some of them are so lovely, and really make you think... :-)

Friendship is truly something not to be taken for granted.... for without friends i don't believe life would ever be the same.... :-) Of course, many friends come and go, but i believe the ones that stick around for years to come, are the ones worth keeping. :-) I really enjoy having friends... and making new ones.

Thank you to those friends of mine, who are that to me. Sticker rounders, lol

I'm sure you know you who you are. ;-) Words cannot describe how much you mean to me.

I will share some verses with you that i enjoyed....

Hope your all having a great week! Mine has been good so far, although i do believe i am getting a cold! not good.... i think i am going to go to the chemist today and get some cold and flu tablets and beat this one away! (I hope!) .. Hehe :0)

Enjoy....


FRIENDSHIP

Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends for it is one of God's best gifts.

It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of one's self, and appreciating whatever is noble

and loving in another.

A friend whom you have been gaining during your whole life, you ought not to be displeased with it

in a moment. A stone is many years becoming a ruby; take care that you do not destroy it in an instant

against another stone.

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed.
As in a 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.

Friendship renders prosperity more brilliant, while it lightens adversity by sharing it and making its burdens common.

"Stay" is a charming word in a friends vocabulary.

True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth & choice.

Friendship that flows from the heart cannot be frozen by adversity, as the water that flows from the spring cannot congreal in winter.

Who ceases to be a friend, never was one.

No distance of place, or lapse of time can lessen the friendship
of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each others worth.

There are many moments in friendship, as in love, when silence is beyond words. The faults of our friend may

be clear to us, but it is well to seem to shut our eyes to them.
Friendship is usually treated by the majority of mankind as a tough and everlasting thing

which will survive all manner of bad treatment.
But this is an exceedingly great and foolish error; it may die in an hour of a single unwise word....

Friendship is a word the very sight of which in print makes the heart warm.

I could go on forever, it has so many nice ones! :-)

Enjoy your week!
