~~ I love these thoughts on Friendship! ~~

We force no doors in friendship, but like the Christ in Revelation, we stand reverently at the door without, to knock. And only if the door be opened from within, may we be welcome in to sup with our friend and he with us.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

A hedge between keeps friendship green.

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

~ Victor Borge

The glory of Friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship. My friends have come unsought. The great God gave them to me.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

No distance or lapse of time can

lessen the friendship of those who

are thoroughly persuaded of each

other's worth.

For memory has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day
The soul of a friend we've made.

Yes, we must ever have friends; but of all who offer

~~ Doesn't God meet our needs though people?! ~~

In everyone's life, at some time,

our inner fire goes out. It is then

burst into flame by an encounter

with another human being.

We should all be thankful

for those people who rekindle

the inner spirit..

Let nothing disturb thee.

Nothing affright thee;

All things are passing;

God never changeth:

Patient endurance attaineth to all things;

Who God possesseth, in nothing is wanting;

Alone God sufficeth.

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool,
than to speak and remove all doubt.

~~ Remember this one from High School Lit Class? ~~

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:

Its loveliness increases;

it will never pass into nothingness;

but still will keep a bower quiet for us,

and a sleep full of sweet dreams,

and health, and quiet breathing...

~ John Keats 1795-1821, British Poet
