It fell to earth, I knew not where;

For so swiftly it flew, the sight

Could not follow it in its flight.

It fell to earth, I knew not where;

For, who has sight so keen and strong

That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak

I found the arrow, still unbroke;

And the song, from beginning to end,

I found again in the heart of a friend.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you needto be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

Author Unknown

For ever and ever without break or decay.

Those are silver, these are gold.

FRIENDSHIP QUOTES

Sicilian Proverb

The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are right.

Mark Twain

There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be penned up in straight and

forgive, and forget too, upon small acknowledgements.

Whatever you are it is your own friends who make your world.

For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as

the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
