Can miles truly separate us from friends? If we want to be with someone we love, aren’t we already there?
– Richard Bach
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.
– Octavia Butler
Because with true friends, no one is keeping score. But it still feels good to repay them – even in the tiniest increments. Happy Friendship Day.
The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away.
– Barbara Kingsolver
Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don’t over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.
– Leo F. Buscaglia
Every friendship travels at some time through the black valley of despair. This tests every aspect of your affection. You lose the attraction and the magic.
– John O’Donohue
Friends are ‘annuals’ that need seasonal nurturing to bear blossoms. Family is a ‘perennial’ that comes up year after year, enduring the droughts of absence and neglect. There’s a place in the garden for both of them. Happy Friendship Day.
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another. Happy Friendship Day.
