Friendship


Okay, the topic is friendship.

Friend – noun: a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations

How do you choose friends? What do you expect from your friends? What do you expect to give them? How long does it take before you call an acquaintance a friend? What’s the trigger? How do you react when you have disagreements with your friends? What has made you give up on a friendship?

“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out” – Walter Winchell

“You can make more friends in one month by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years trying to get other people interested in you.” – Dale Carnegie

“What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.” – Confucius

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.” – Muhammad Ali

“No person is your friend who demands your silence or denies your right to grow” – Alice Walker

“You can always tell a real friend: when you’ve made a fool of yourself he doesn’t feel you’ve done a permanent job” – Laurence J. Peter

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.” – Gloria Naylor
