Love is the attempt to

form a friendship

inspired by beauty.

Friends are the siblings

God never gave us.

Friendship is

one mind in

two bodies.

A true friend is one

who overlooks your failures

and tolerates your success!

Sustaining true friendship

is a lot more challenging

than we give it credit for.

A true friend is someone

who is there for you

when he'd rather be

anywhere else.

My best friend is

the one who brings

out the best in me.

A single rose can

be my garden...

a single friend,

my world.

The language of friendship

is not words but meanings.

A friend is someone

who gives you total

freedom to be yourself.

The love that comes

from friendship is

the underlying facet

of a happy life.

But friendship is

the breathing rose,

with sweets in every fold.

Friendship is always

a sweet responsibility,

never an opportunity.

Friends and good manners

will carry you

where money won't go.

I choose to live without

hope to protect myself

from disappointment.

It's very effective!

The charm of fishing is that

it is the pursuit of what is

elusive but attainable

a perpetual series of

occasions for hope.

Sometimes I feel I hope

I am not taking advantage

of my stardom.

Let your hopes,

not your hurts,

shape your future.

Hope is the thing with

feathers that perches

in the soul

and sings

the tunes without the words

and never stops at all.

Desire is the starting

point of all achievement,

not a hope, not a wish,

but a keen pulsating desire

which transcends everything.
