Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose. ~Tennessee Williams
For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.~ Jeanette Winterson
Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all. ~William Faulkner
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. [Christopher Robin to Pooh] ~A. A. Milne
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked. ~Bernard Meltzer
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. ~Albert Pike
A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.
