If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you. A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend. Strangers are just friends waiting to happen.
Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say. Everyone needs a 'pick me up' every now and then. My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.
