1. Reminds me of the saying- A rolling stone gathers no moss.

2. True friendship develops over a period of time, not with one stirring.

3. When the tears appear, a true friend, will not disappear. (paulaj proverb)

4. Two people working with each other can accomplish amazing things.

5. It could mean, just being there for someone speaks volumes. Words mean nothing without action.

Anyone else?

1. Friendship is something special and should be distributed sparingly.

2. (what paulaj said)

3. Friendships form during fun times and are tested by hard times?

4. (what paulaj said), or....no husband and wife have ever agreed in the history of humanity.

5. The closer you are to a person, the more (you think) they know what goes in your head.

1. This reminds me of the quote- if you try to please everyone- you end up pleasing no one. It's difficult to be friends with everyone...and truely be there friends-

2. (I agree with the above said) aparently well said paulaj Smile

3. Friendships form during fun times and are tested by hard times? -- now that is WELL SAID gravy. Very true. Friendship can be made over a few drinks...but its the hard time- the times of tears that tests friendship. A friend has seen you cry- a true friend crys with you.

4. I think that Paulaj has a good point...great things happen when people work together...but Gravy- great observation...we still have oceans...Smile

5. When you love someone....the language that is best understood is that without words. Its when you say nothing at all...that we sometimes communicate best. Its wonderful to know someone well enough to be able to sit with them for hours.....not having to say a word- yet "saying" everything.
