Friends

God gives us our relatives - thank God we can choose our friends.
- Ethel Watts Mumford

So long as we are loved by others I should say that we are almost indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.
- Robert Louis Stevenson

I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred—that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt. . . . If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without a remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.
- Harriet Beecher Stowe

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.
- Anonymous

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. -Walter Winchell

A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway. -Fr. Jerome Cummings
