I had to answer a question last week in one of my classes about friendship. The book asked if it is possible to have true friends with people you have never met. This lead me to many of these quotes, and I thought I would share them with some friends:)
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln
Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
Richard Bach, (Illusions)
A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.

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.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend.
Albert Camus
The best time to make friends is before you need them.
