Friendisms..

a long, long time ago, a friend sent me these words in the mail:

You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
~ Dale Carnegie

Whether you are blessed with soulmates...or with those who walk with you just a little while, not one of these friends crosses your path by chance. Each is a messenger, sent by God, to give you the wisdom, companionship, comfort, or challenge you need for a particular leg of your spiritual journey.
~ Traci Mullins


True friends don't spend their time gazing into each other's eyes. They may show great tenderness toward each other, but they face in the same direction - toward common projects, interests, goals - above all, to a common Lord.
~ Clive Staples Lewis

And my favorite..

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop there is at last a drop which makes it run over, so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
~ Samuel Johnson
