Your best friend was also once a stranger

If your best friend gets it, that's all that matters.

You can always tell a real friend; when you've made a fool of yourself, he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave,

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.

Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there
