An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Buddha

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


True friends stab you in the front.
Oscar Wilde


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

A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
William Penn

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.
Euripides

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
Len Wein

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
Henry David Thoreau

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
Charles Kingsley

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.
Laurence J. Peter

A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.
Walter Winchell


We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
Joseph Roux

A friend forgives all and always.

There are the people who will promise to be your friend, and then there are the people who will actually be your friend.
a friend of mine.

so as you can guess, i am feeling quite blessed with my true friends today. and one in particular, who "showed up" immediately when i spazzed out today.

i don't spazz out often anymore, but it sure is nice that when you reach out to someone while in the middle of a spazz, that the person you reach out to recognizes what you need and delivers it promptly and exactly.

and when you say thank-you, they respond "duh."

meaning - what the hell else would a real friend do?
