"Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?" Abraham Lincoln

"Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much;
he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me... you brought another friend... and then there were three... we started our group... our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end... Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That is why they call it the present." Eleanor Roosevelt

"No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow." Alice Walker

"I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you" Ann Richards

"True friendship consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and value." Ben Jonson

"Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer." Ed Cunningham

"When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it." Edgard Watson Howe

"Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking." George Eliot

"True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance." Henry David Thoreau

"It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter." Marelen Dietrich

"Friendship is a sheltering tree." Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." William Blake
