I decorate a bulletin board at our community center each month with pictures and quotes. This month my theme is Friendship.


~There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. -Proverbs 18:24

~What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for one another? -George Eliot

~He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love. -Saint Basil

~We take care of our health, we lay up money, we make our roof tight and our clothing sufficient, but who provides wisely that he shall not be wanting the best property of all-friends! -Ralph Waldo Emerson

~Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by doubling our joy and dividing our grief. -Joseph Addison

~A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom he can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults. -Charles Kingsley

~Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends. -Euripides

~A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friend he chooses. -Proverbs 27:19

~Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words. -George Eliot

I have a friend like this. We have been friends for 28 years. We disagree about some things but have never had harsh words. She prays for me and I pray for her. She is one of the best things that has ever happened in my life. She laughs with me. She cries with me. We cry together. We laugh together. We never hang up the phone or leave each other without saying "I love you." She is a three time cancer survivor. Her name is Cheryl I thank God every day for sending Cheryl into my life. She is everything anyone could want in a friend.

Melissa- here are some of my favorites:



"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
-Walter Winchell

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
- Bible: Ecclesiastes

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."
- C. S. Lewis

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
- Mother Teresa

"Misfortune shows those who are not really friends."
- Aristotle

"Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare
False friends are like leaves, found everywhere."
- Anoymous

"A friend loves at all times." Proverbs 17:17

And I love the quotation from Ecclesiastes! Nick and I have the citation inscribed in our wedding bands: Eccl. 4:9-12. :)
