FRIENDSHIP.

You will like the following definitions of friendship: “Friendship is to be valued for what there is in it, not for what can be got out of it. When two people appreciate each other because each has found the other convenient to have around, they are not friends; they are simply acquaintances with a business understanding. To seek friendship for its utility is as futile as to seek the end of the rainbow for its bag of gold, A true friend is always useful- in its highest sense.” “Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends,” “True friends visit us in prosperity when invited, but in adversity they come without invitation.” “Our friends See the best in us and by that very fact call forth the best in us.” It is best not to try to get the best of your best friends.”
