"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same."
~ Flavia Weedn
"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light."
~ Albert Schweitzer
"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

"Friendship is like a bank account;
you cannot continue to draw on it without making a deposit."
~ Nicole Beale
"When you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls or riches,
but the love of real true friends."
~Helen Steiner Rice
