Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them? ~ Abraham Lincoln Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. ~ Richard Bach A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself. ~ Frank Crane When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it. ~ Edgar Watson Howe Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend. ~ Albert Camus The best time to make friends is before you need them. ~ Ethel Barrymore
