"Two are better than one; because they have a good
reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his
fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not
another to help him up."
- Bible: Ecclesiastes

"Every person is a new door to a different world."

- from movie "Six Degrees of Seperation"

"Two may talk together under the same roof for many
years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old
friends."
- Mary Catherwood

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like
art… It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that
give value to survival."
- C. S. Lewis

"The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but
to reveal to him, his own."   

-Benjamin Disraeli

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to
humanity. They are but trifles, to be sure but, scattered along life’s
pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."

"No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence."
- George Eliot

"Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead.
  - Anna Cummins

"All our young lives we search for someone to
love, someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change
partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while
wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us."
-The Wonder Years

"We laughed
until we had to cry.
We gave love,
right down to our last goodbye.
We were the best
we thought we’d ever be
Just you and me,
for just a moment…

"You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back."

-Barbara DeAngelis

Filipinos make the best songs about friendship.  Here are two examples:

Lyrics: POINTS OF VIEWJoey Albert

Look, it's happened once again It happens every now and then Feeling the hurt and hating all the menReady to stop it all 

That's when I need a friendly face To see me through these lonely days Just to put some sunshine in my place Don't take too long I need you 

REFRAIN: Here I am I haven't gone that far away And since I am That kind of friend you know Would stay with you through all the pain Never to leave you in the rain Ready to listen to what you've been through Your woes and blues and share each other's 

CHORUS: Points of view We've been there once before And kept our points of view It doesn't really matter if they're never quite the same We have our rules in different ways We play the games of different folks with different strokesAnd keep our points of view 

See the world seems bright again It only darkens now and then Most of the time there's just no telling whenLook up and see you've got me

REFRAIN:Here we are We may have gone our different ways But since we are The kind of friends who'll always stay No matter what the pain Learning to love that cap o rain Ready to say we're here to stay in every wayAlthough we'e got our different... 

CHORUS: Points of view We've been there once before And kept our points of view It doesn't really matter if they're never quite the same We have our rules in different ways We play the games of different folks with different strokesAnd keep our points of view 

Points of view We've been there once before And kept our points of view It doesn't really matter if they're never quite the same We have our rules in different ways We play the games of different folks with different strokesAnd keep our points of view------------------------------------------------------------

I'll be there by Carol BanawaThere are times that we are downAnd tired of runnin' off the shoreThere are times that we can't take it at allAnd we let our feelings down

CHORUS

Remember that I am your friendWho will always be there for youWhenever you're in pain Just call out and hear me say

I'll be there.....(I'll be there..I'll be there..)

There are times we keep on losin' our wayAnd we go astrayThere are times that we can't make it at allAnd we let our feelings down (repeat chorus)
