Friendship Dos & Friendship Don’ts
Friends are important! Who else would tell us if we had spinach between our teeth?
Friendship Dos
• Accept her... warts and all
If we build on a sure foundation of friendship, we must love our friends for their sakes, rather than for our own.
Charlotte Bronte.
• Open your circle of friends... got room for one more?
No one person can possibly combine all the elements supposed to make up what everyone means by friendship.
Francis Marion Crawford.
• Be loyal through the ups and downs and I’m not talking about our weight!
Trouble is a sieve through which we sift our acquaintances. Those too big to pass through are our friends.
Arlene Francis.
• Friendship takes time - think casserole dish, not microwave!
The growth of friendship may be a life long affair.
Sarah Orne Jewett.
Friendship Don'ts
• Not liking who you are? What’s not to like?
Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt.
• Not knowing who you are - who are you anyway?
Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have.
Doris Mortman.
• Not fighting fair - yes there are rules!
…the responsibilities of friendship?... To talk. And to listen.
Rosie Thomas.
• Don’t betray that friend - ouch, that hurts!
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another .
