"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
you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with
a friendship."
~
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"A
friend is one before whom I may think aloud."
"Better
to be a nettle in the side of your friend than his echo."
"A
true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can."
"A
friend might well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature."
"I
awoke with devout thanksgiving for my friends."
~
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
