Quotes are an eloquent way for one to express how they feel and
reflect on a specific situation, relationship or feeling. Friendship
quotes for example, help convey our feelings towards that special friend
in our life. We find solace in words when situations or feelings are
confusing, when friendship turns to love, a new bond is born or a dear
friend is lost.

Real friends are those that allow us to be
ourselves, be comfortable, be stupid, make mistakes, and still not be
judged. They are a mirror to our true selves and we can't fathom a life
without them by our side. As Danielle Steele stated in her book The
Gift: It's like some people just come through our lives, to bring us
something, a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn, and that's why
they're here.

A test for real friendship is whether we can be
happy for our friends' successes and supportive for their mishaps.
Genuine care and support are what should define a friendship not
jealousy, envy, and pity. Let's all remember the great words of Oscar
Wilde: Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it
requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend success.

There are friendship quotes
that celebrate the friends we turn to, find solace with, and seek
support from. They make life more beautiful simply by being there,
sharing and listening. No moment is complete without their being part of
it. As one great person once put it: Some people come into our lives,
leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

And
sometimes the inevitable happens. The friendship catches fire. We start
developing strong feelings to a friend and cross the thin line between
love and friendship. We launch into treacherous territory naively
convincing ourselves that should things not work out we can always stay
friends. The reality of the matter is quite the opposite. While
friendships can often end in love, love will never to convert to
friendship. Should we ever jump in and then discover that our feelings
are not returned, we'll almost always end up losing that friend forever.
As the famous poem goes: You're not friends; you'll never be friends;
you'll be in love 'till it kills you both; you'll fight, and you'll hate
each other 'till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.
