"Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods."

"What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies."  

"True friendship is a plant of slow growth..."  

"It [friendship] redoubleth joy, and cutteth griefs in halves."

"Life has no pleasure higher or nobler than that of friendship."

"God... send me a friend that will tell me of my faults."

 "The best mirror is an old friend."

"No man is the whole of himself; his friends are the rest of him."  

"To a friend's house, the road is never long."

I really like these quotes, it makes me appreciate my friends.  And they're absolutely true.  Even if I had the most beautiful house to live in, with everything my heart desired, if I didn't have one friend, I would still be a miserable person.  Your friends help make you the person you are, they'll always be there for you, and sometimes understand you more than your own family.  Some of my best memories are wtih my best friends and I love that, I wouldn't trade them for anything (=

Friendships are so amazing. As I grow up sometimes I feel like I have a better relationship with my close friends than my family. I also had to watch out for who my friends were. They have led me astray and away from my walk with God. For me, it was good to get out of those types of friendships and see who my true friends were and my one true friend who loves me the most, God.

I've had many friends who I thought were true but turned out to stab me in the back and hurt me more than I ever thought anyone could. But throughout all these pains I learned to realise who my true friends were, and those friends are really blessings from God. I dont know where I would be without them.

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

Friends help you out with so many things. Theres somethings you just cant trust your parents with but friends are always there to help out. I don't know where I would be without my friends. Even when I screwed my life over, they were there to forgive me and help me gain it all back.
