Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

Short judgments make long friends.

Proverb

Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed.

All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.
