“Friends are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made, crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless.

Best friends are formed by time.

Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone.

If the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. And it's when the things you do together no longer feel right.

However, sometimes it takes more effort to make it work after all.

Stick around long enough to become someone's best friend.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.”

“Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?”
― Abraham Lincoln

“It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.”
― E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web
