Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves.

J.M. Barrie

Thank you for shining
so much of your light on me!

A friend is someone who allows you distance, but is never far away.

Noah benShea

Life's truest happiness is found in
friendships we make along the way.

words that remind me of you:

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and true;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.

Madeleine Bridges

Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends,
for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things,
but above all, the power of going out of one's self, and
appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another.

Thomas Hughes

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly
not born until they arrive, and it is only
by this meeting that a new world is born.

Anais Nin

Sending this page is easy -- if you're sending it with your computer's default email program, then on Internet Explorer just click on the mail icon on your toolbar and choose the option you wish to use.

A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good,
and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad.

Arnold H. Glasow

By friendship you mean the greatest love, the greatest usefulness,
the most open communication, the noblest sufferings, the severest truth,
the heartiest counsel, and the greatest union of minds of which
brave men and women are capable.

Jeremy Taylor

We rejoice in the joys of our friends as much as we do our own,
and we are equally grieved at their sorrows. Wherefore wise people
will feel toward their friends as they do toward themselves, and
whatever labor they would encounter with a view to their own
pleasure, they will encounter also for the sake of their friends.

Cicero

Laurence J. Peter

You can always tell real friends: when you've made a fool of
yourself they don't feel you've done a permanent job.

True friends are like diamonds,
Precious, but rare;
False friends are like autumn leaves
Found everywhere.

used to have on her wall)

This is just a short page to let you know that wherever you are, whatever you may be doing, my thoughts and my friendship will always be with you. Thank you for being who you are!

In this troubled world it's refreshing to find
Someone who still has the time to be kind,
Someone who still has the faith to believe
That the more you give, the more you receive,
Someone who's ready by thought, word, or deed
To reach out a hand in the hour of need.

Dear Friend--

As our lives continue to move on and on and we tend to get busier and busier with more and more commitments and obligations, sometimes it's difficult to find just the right moment to stop and say "thank you" to those who are most special to us. I'd like to take the time right now to thank you for being a friend.

Your friendship means a great deal to me--it's a steady part of my life that I can depend on, a positive, loving part of my life that helps me to be true to who I am. Because you accept me for exactly who and what I am--rather than what you think I should be--you allow me to develop and grow in my ways, and you help me to see the value in what I do and how I do it. I know that my world is a much better place for your presence in it, and I thank you for your faithfulness, your kindness, your heartfelt criticisms when they've been necessary, and your willingness to be who you are.

Life is a beautiful experience, made even more special by the presence of true friends. My life is much richer for your presence in it, and I want you to know that even though it may not be obvious all the time, I don't take your friendship for granted--I truly appreciate all that you are and all that I have become due to the great part that you play in my life.

Thanks!

The friend who likes and cares for us in the sense of companionship, who can never come too often, nor stay too long, with whom presence is always a joy and solitude a sympathy--such friends as these are ours purely by right of temperamental accord. One's friendships, in the sense of one's personal enjoyments, are matters of sympathy, of tastes, of mutual experiences, of culture, of habits, and general scope of life--a whole world indeed, into which only the initiate can enter, and whose atmosphere can neither be translated nor communicated to those who are not in it and of it.

Lillian Whiting

There's nothing worth the wear of winning,
but laughter and the love of friends.

Hilaire Belloc

The most I can do for my friends is simply to be their friend. I have no wealth
to bestow upon them. If they know that I am happy in loving them,
they will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?

Henry David Thoreau

Edward Lavin

Once I was very sick. It was clear that the cure for this illness was
in my own hands. However, it involved two things that I found most difficult
to do--exercise and good diet. Most of the people I knew, aware of
my detestation for broccoli and walking, never mentioned these hateful things.
Two of my closest friends, however, were really pests. "Good food, good food,
walk, walk, walk." I would have like to have killed them. But, and this is the point,
which of these were my real friends--those who were so nice that
they never mentioned the hateful remedies or those who so loved my life
that they made me miserable until I changed my ways?

Helen Keller

My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways
they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges,
and enabled me to walk serene and happy
in the shadow cast by my deprivation.

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand
will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath
of kindness blow the rest away.

George Eliot

One's friends are that part of the human race
with which one can be human.

George Santayana
