One thing I like to give more than anything in the world is somthing better than jewelry, candy, and even a big triple scoup of chocolate ice cream!!! What I like to give is my love and friendship. Just like my best friends give to me! [Kelly R., 7th grade, Sept. 1998]

Friends come in all sizes and all ages.

When you are with a friend you can talk a lot; but you don't need to talk at all.

When a friend goes away, the friendship doesn't.

Sometimes friends have two good legs, sometimes friends come on crutches, sometimes a friend comes in a wheelchair. Sometimes you need to go to your friend who cannot leave the bed.

Friends don't excuse what you do wrong, but they do forgive you.

A friend delights in your successes and good times.

A friend walks by your side through the hard times.

A friend listens, a friend shares.

Joy shared is double joy, sorrow shared is half sorrow.
[C.A. Tiedge, Reader's Digest, July 1998]

A friend doesn't mind your silence when you don't want to talk; a friend doesn't mind your talking when you do want to talk.

Some friends come and go, but true friends stay forever. [Zach W., 7th grade, Sept. 1998]

Friends are the best things in the world, if you lose them you have nothing. [Steven G., 7th grade, Sept. 1998]

If you have one true friend you have more than you deserve. [Kelly R., 7th grade, Sept. 1998]
