Because friends like that are more precious then all the tiaras in the world
Meg CabotWe [me and friends] like to have surprising stories, but the dynamic and the friendship is the same.

Emily GiffinWhen friends speak overmuch of times gone by, often it's because they sense their present time is turning them from friends to strangers.

So now at last, dear Mouse, with many, many years between: goodbye.

Our friends seldom tell us these things; they are our friends precisely because they are able to overlook or ignore this part of us.

His friends are the ones he will take into his kingdom and with whom he will associate in an eternal inheritance.
