“Most important in a friendship? Tolerance and loyalty.”
Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.”
Charles Kingsley
“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.”
Plutarch
“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.”
Gloria Naylor
“A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.”
William Arthur Ward
“True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.”
