Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'
A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.
