Friendship

“I wonder what Piglet is doing," thought Pooh. "I wish I were there to be doing it, too.”

―A.A. Milne

~

Nobody sees a flower, really. It is so small it takes time. We haven't time, and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.

—Georgia O'Keeffe

~

Turns out not where
but who you’re with
that really matters

Dave Matthews

~

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

Linda Grayson

~

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

―Anaïs Nin

~

Glad to have a friend like you
Fair and fun and skippin' free
Glad to have a friend like you
And glad to just be me

Free to Be You & Me

~

Friendship is just another word for love.

—Anonymous

~

Met a man on the roadside crying,
without a friend there's no denying
you're incomplete,
there'll be no finding
looking for what you knew

Led Zeppelin

~

Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer.

—Mario Puzo

~

We will go
nowhere we know—
we don't have to talk at all

Beck

~

You are one of my nicest thoughts.

—Georgia O'Keeffe

~

When the sun shines
we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining
more than ever
Know that we'll still
have each other
You can stand
under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

Rihanna

~

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

—Winnie-the-Pooh
