People come in and out of our lives, and the true test of friendship is whether you can pick back up right where you left off the last time you saw each other.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Friendships that have stood the test of time and change are surely best.
Every friendship goes through ups and downs. Dysfunctional patterns set in; external situations cause internal friction; you grow apart and then bounce back together.
As soon as you try to describe a close friendship, it loses something.
The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?
The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.
Friendships are discovered rather than made.
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
