Friendship

Friendship, what does this word mean to you?
It is said that “no man is an island”. There is a saying in French that goes like this: “Dis-moi qui sont tes amis, je te dirai qui tu es " meaning “Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are”.
My question is: Who are your friends, how do they impact your life?

Here are some quotations on friendship.

A friend is someone you can do nothing with, and enjoy it. (Anonymous)

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you need is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. (Oprah Winfrey)

Friends are relatives you make for yourself (Hustanche Deschamps)

There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother (Prov 18:24)

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship (William Blake)

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. (Edger Watson Howe)
