Friend & Friendship




A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same. Elbert Hubbard
                                                      
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.



A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.



A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.


You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.



A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.




But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
Thomas Jefferson

 Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.



Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis


Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.Muhammad Ali





I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
Katherine Mansfield 




I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better. Plutarch
 



I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar. Robert Brault

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
Epicurus




It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

La Pieta.

  In the midst of war and strife, Lies a world full of human life, Suffering and pain, tears and cries, As the ground beneath them dies. Mothers weep and children cry, As bombs fall from the sky, Fathers lost and brothers gone, As the battle rages on. Innocent lives caught in the crossfire, As the hatred and anger conspire, Leaving behind a trail of destruction, And a world full of disruption. Yet amidst all this chaos and despair, There is still a glimmer of hope and care, For those who strive for peace and love, And look to the heavens above. Let us come together, hand in hand, And build a world that we can all understand, Where the sun shines on every face, And we all live in a world full of grace.

Adversity Strenght. Positive Affirmation.

We all read quotes to give us wisdom, strength, …   After reading them one feels empowered, elevated, wiser.... but quickly the feelings dissipates. Why can we sustain those feelings of power of renewed trust on oneself? I would like to try something. I will learn one quote and repeat it in the course of the whole day, making the quote my mantra, until it will be part of my normal though. Join me and let try it for one day. Leave me a comment if you did try it.  Also if you have ideas on how to sustaining that positive mental thinking please share it in the comment.                                           .
