“Hold a true friend with both your hands.”
Proverb
“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friend.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good.”
Oscar Wilde
““A 'FRIEND' IS NOT A 'FRIEND' UNTIL THEY KNOW WHERE YOU HURT• UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW TO STOMP YOUR FACE INTO THE DIRT• BUT IF THIS 'FRIEND' KNOWS THIS, AND DOESN'T USE IT• THAN HE IS A '†RU∑ FRIEND' WITHOUT ANY CONFUSION””
Leif Ericsson Leo Veness
“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 friends stab you in the front.”
“A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked”
Bernard Meltzer
