Friendship Quotes

"Only God can fill the emptiness of the human heart. He does it by giving us FRIENDS who make us laugh when we cry, smile when we frown and courage when we fall."

"A friend is never a coincidence in your life, they are once a stranger meant to come into your life to bring you priceless lessons and funny memories."

"If the days won't allow us to see each other, memories will, and if my eyes can't see you, my heart will never forget you! A FRIEND so good and true!"

"You will always be my friend wherever I am, wherever you are, even if it takes forever even if I see you never. You will always be my good friend longer than forever!"

"I'll always be thankful that God made us friends. I may never know why or how, but I know, here in my heart you'll always be one of the reasons why I'll keep on believing that God wants me to be happy."

"Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest, who came first or who cares the best... It is about who came and never left."

Friendships

A friend is one who knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts who you have become, invites you to grow and supports you in your journey.

When you are what I call emotionally enlightened, you attract and keep such people as true friends because:

* You accept them rather than judge them.
* You express your feelings and encourage them to do likewise.
* You take responsibility for your feelings and never lay guilt trips on them for how you feel.
* You show empathy, compassion, and understanding for their feelings.
* You are sensitive to their feelings and needs, but you do drain yourself by feeling responsible for meeting them. You recognize that each person is responsible for their own feelings, so your friends do not become burdensome to you.
* You do not blame them or attack them, so they do not need to feel defensive or to counterattack.
* You do not advise them or tell them what to do, since you know that this will foster dependency, rob them of the chance to grow, and possibly create resentment later on.
* You are honest with them, even when what you have to say is unpleasant for them, because (a) You respect them enough to honor them with the truth, (b) You want them to grow through awareness, and (c) You trust them enough to manage their own responses.
* When you express concerns you express them as statements of your feelings, not of their character.

A true friend is someone who helps you reach your highest potential, someone who helps you be the best you can be. At the early stages of your friendship a true friend gets to know the real you by frequently asking how you feel about different things. They ask questions like:

* What are your fears?
* What are your dreams and desires?
* What do you feel strongly about?
* What’s important to you?
* What infuriates you?
* What excites you?
* What are your values?
* What are your beliefs?

The Rembrants - I'll be there for you (Friends)

To all FRIENDS series fanatic....

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even
your year, but

{Chorus}

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far, things are going great
Your mama warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees, and

{Chorus}

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Since you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the best with
Someone who always laughs at
Even when I'm at my worst, I'm best with you
Yeah!

{Chorus}

I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too

John Lennon Tribute In My Life

The BEATLES song 'IN MY LIFE' written by John Lennon is a song reminiscing the childhood\teenage years. Some friends may come and go but the thing is the memories still remain. True enough there are places with moments... A moment to reminisce the happy times ü

LYRICS

There are places I remember

All my life, though some have changed

Some for ever, not for better

And some have gone, and some remained

All these places had there moments

With lovers and friends that I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life, I loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers

Still no one, compares with you

And these memories loose their meaning,

When I think of love as something new

No I will never, ever loose affection

For people and things that went before

I'll often stop and think about them

In my life, I loved you more

I know I'll never ever loose affection

For people and things that went before

I'll often stop to think about them

In my life, I loved you more

In my life, I loved you more
