I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects.

I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.... A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back: a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

It is not the gift, but the thought that counts.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.


I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.

We don't need sugar, flour or rice or anything else. We just want to see our dear ones.

One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.

If it's very painful for you to criticize your friends - you're safe in doing it. But if you take the slightest pleasure in it, that's the time to hold your tongue.


You can make it, but it's easier if you don't have to do it alone.

In the spiritual life nowhere do our ideals meet the actual more truly than in how we relate to each other, in how we make, sustain and are friends.

We need old friends to help us grow old and new friends to help us stay young.

Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love.


Keeping a friend is as difficult as losing one.
U sacrifice a lot to Keep Them.
I may not have sacrificed enough 4 u?
But in my heart i swear i m Keeping u.

If U need a friend and there are a hundred steps between us, you can take the 1st step to get near me and i will take all 99 step to be there for you.

A memory lasts forever, and never does it die. True friends stay together and never say good bye.

dost dost nahi khuda hota hai mahsoos tab hota hai jab juda hota hai binadost ke jina jivan ek saja hai agar dost aap jaisa ho to jivan ek maja hai

Colors may fade, the sun may not shine, the moon may not be bright, heartbeats may stop, lives may pass but our friendship, I’ll treasure ’till the day my heart stops.

How long shall we be friends? Do you want a clue? As long as stars twinkle in the sky, till the water runs dry and till the day I die. We will be friends.

A PersOn Living IN AnOther PersOn's Heart Is Called lOve-
BUT A PersOn Living AS AnOther PersOn's Heart Is Called Friendship

When does a friend become a best friend?
When his dialouge, "I care for you" converts into "I will kill you if you don't care for me"
F: FIELD of LOVE!..R: ROOT ofJOy!.. I: ISLAND of GOD!.. E: END of SoRROW!.. N: NAME of HOPE!.. D: DOOR of UNDERSTANDING! dats YOU my FRIEND..
Zindagi mein hamesha naye dost milenge, kahi zyada to kahin kum milenge. Aitbaar zara soch kar karna, mumkin nahi tumhe har jagah HUM milenge.

A B C D E F G H I . . . . . . . . . . . U V W X Y Z.. Dekha I aur U ke beech mein jo bhee aaya sabko tapka diya...
Sweetness can be defined without honey.
Fragnance can be defined without Rose.
But, friendship can't be defined without YOU.

Heart beat are countless, spirits are ageless, dreams r endless, memories are timeless and a friend like u is Useless.....

1 Advice- Don’t change, 1 request- take care, 1 wish- Don't forget me, 1 Lie- I hate U, 1 truth- I Miss U, 1 hope- We'll always be Gud Friends.

Things will change from Class room 2 office,
Books 2 files, Jeans 2 formals,
Pepsi 2 juices, Girl friends 2 wife,
what will never change is, yaaron ki yaar!

There is no distance too far between best friends, for friendship gives wings to the heart.

Birth is the "Start of life"
beauty is the "art of life"
Love is the "part of life"
but,
Friendship is the "Heart of life"

Friends and Friendship it's a package of
"Feelings"
nobody can "Make" it.
nobody can "Break" it.
nobody can " Explain" it.
only "me" and "you" can "Feel" it.

Feeling of love + Moment of caring +
small small sharing + stupid fights +
shoulder to cry + to be together in pain
creates a miracle called "FRIENDSHIP"

Everytime i hear a msg tone, I always hope 1 of them comes from U...My simcard has a limited Memory.. But my simheart has Unlimited space 4 U

Friendship id like standing on wet cement...the longer u stand the harder it is to leave...and even if u leave...u always leave ur foot prints behind

in the cookie of life, Friends r the chocolate chips
that make life sweet, surprising and yummy.
thanks for being one of the yummy choc chip of my life.

I m not Shakespeare to write about you.
I m not Shelley to sing for u.
I m not Picasso to paint u.
I m your friend who just want to say
I m always with u.

CHAND SE JAB MULAKAT HOTI H…
Aapke Bareme unse kuch baat hoti h…
Wo kehte h mere pas khubsurat sitara h…
hum kehte h usse bhi dilkash dost hamara hai..

friendship doesn't occur with special people
but people become special after being friends.
I don't know what I'm to u
but u'll always be special for me

Saathi sirf woh nahi hota jo jeevan bhar saath nibhaye; Saathi to woh bhi hai jo jivan ke kuch palon mein bhi jeevan bhar ka saath de jaaye.

Few people r like rainbow in your life,
who fill your life with colors,
I'm very lucky to have u as my Rainbow Friend
always fill my life with your love and care.

Andhere me rasta banana mushkil hota hai. Tufan mein deepak jalana mushkil hota hai. DOSTI kisi se bhi kar lena mushkil nahi, Ise bas nibhana mushkil hota hai..

Friendship is vast like Universe, deep like Ocean, high like Sky, strong like Iron, kind like Mother, cute like Me, and sweet like U!

The Test Of Friendship
Dosen’t Comes When U R 2gether.
It Comes When U Part Ways &
U Realize That Despite The Distance,
The Friendship Is Still There.....................................friendship text messages
