Friendship

Please remember Lord Littlebrook in your prayers this week. He is in the Heartland Regional Hospital in St. Joe, Missouri. If you would like to send him a get well card, you may do so by sending it to his wrestling office at 1716 6th Avenue, St Joseph, MO 64505. His sons will see to it that he gets the cards.

I also want to send a special hello to my friend Glen in Chicago...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--Percival

Nearly six years ago, I lost a great friend of over 42 years ... Bobo Brazil. One often wonders what people mean to each other. I have gathered a few things about Friendship and would like to share them with you with respect to Bobo's memory. You're gone from us, my friend, but not forgotten.

Friendship

Don't worry about knowing people; just make yourself worth knowing.

Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer.

If you can buy a person's friendship, it is not worth it.

True friends have hearts that beat as one.

You can bank on any friendship where interest is paid.

No one has so big a house that he does not need a good neighbor.

If you were another person, would you like to be a friend of yours?

A good friend is one who neither looks down on you nor keeps up with you.

A friend is one who helps you bridge the gaps between loneliness and fellowship, frustration and confidence, despair and hope, setbacks and success.

A friend is never known till they are needed.

Friendship is a responsibility ... not an opportunity.

Friendship is the cement that holds the world together.

Friends are those who speak to you after others don't.

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail and not his tongue.

Pick your friends, but not to pieces.

A friend is one who puts his finger on a fault without rubbing it in.

The way to have friends is to be willing to lose some arguments.

If a friend makes a mistake, don't rub it in … rub it out.

You cannot see eye to eye with the person you look down upon.

Being square creates a circle of friends.

It is just as difficult to get along in this world without a friend as it is to get along without food to eat.

A friend is a person who can step on your toes without messing your shine.

The quickest way to wipe out a friend is to sponge off him.

A friend is someone to add up all your traits but to bring up only the good ones.

People are judged by the company they keep and the company they keep away from.

Deal with others' faults as gently as if they were your own.

No matter how rich a man may be, there's nothing he can buy finer than a friend.

Be friendly with the folks you know ... if it weren't for them, you would be a total stranger.

If you cannot think of any nice things to say about your friends, then you have the wrong friends.

A friend is someone who likes you even though he doesn't need you anymore.

Make friends before you need them.

To be without a friend is a serious form of poverty.

The best mirror is an old friend.

The best possession one may have is a true friend.

Friendship is the art of overlooking the shortcomings of others.

Make friendship a habit, and you will always have friends.

The more arguments you win, the fewer friends you will have.

A friend is someone who knows all our faults but still loves us.

You will never have a friend if you must have one without faults.

Doing nothing for your friends results in having no friends to do for.

Friends knock before they enter, not after they leave.

Anyone can give advice, but a real friend will lend a helping hand.

You can make more friends by being interested in them than trying to have them be interested in you.

A real friend is a person who, when you've made a fool of yourself, lets you forget it.

A friend is a person who listens attentively while you say nothing.

You can buy friendship with friendship, but never with dollars.

True friends are like diamonds, precious but rare; false friends are like autumn leaves, found everywhere.

A friend is someone who thinks you're a good egg even though you're slightly cracked.

The most miserable person on earth is the one who has money and no friends.
