Alice Walker

“Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.”

Woodrow T. Wilson

“Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer.”

Ed Cunningham

“Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success.”

Oscar Wilde

“Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”

Anthony Robbins

“The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.”

Elisabeth Foley

“There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found

While journeying east and west –

The only folks we really wound

Are those we love the best.

We flatter those we scarcely know,

We please the fleeting guest,

And deal full many a thoughtless blow

To those who love us best.”

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
