Friendship make prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it.
Cicero, On Friendship, 44 B.C.Roman author, orator, & politician (106 BC - 43 BC)
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

There isn’t much better in this life than finding a way to spend a few hours in conversation with people you respect and love. You have to carve this time out of your life because you aren’t really living without it.
What is a true friend?
For me it is the people who are there holding my hand when I have had surgery. The ones who have helped me change my bandages when I couldn't do it myself. People who have been there time and time again to lift me up when I cannot take life much more. Ones who understand and accepts that I am a broken person that needs constant nurturing and love.
And in turn I am a person that would give you anything in the world to make you happy. To make you feel loved and cherished. Someone to be there when your life has been ripped to pieces. I am one that is there holding your hand, taking the steps to piece it back together.
I love my friends.... yall are damn lucky.
