Friendship Quotes

But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle others, use your heart.

But beautiful old people are works of art.

Friends, you and me.
You brought another friend,
And then there were three.

We started our group,
Our circle of friends,
And like that circle -
There is no beginning or end.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
