Beautiful Friendship Quotes

Most people enjoy the inferiority of their best friends. To find a truly great friend, you have to keep one eye closed - to keep him, two. True friends are those who are there for you unconditionally. Never do they question, but always offer support no matter what the circumstances are. Best Friends are the people worth living for. Side by side or miles apart, dear friends are always close to the heart. A best friend is somebody who knows every last thing about you, yet still manages to like you anyway. The medicine of life is to have several true faithful friends. A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes. I do not want a friend who smiles when I smile who weeps when I weep for my shadow in the pool can do better than that.

Together they travelled around the world, adding only the finest art treasures to their collection. Priceless works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, and many others adorned the walls of their family estate. The widowed elderly man looked on with satisfaction as his only child became an experienced art collector.

As winter approached, war engulfed their nation, and the young man left to serve his country. After only a few short weeks, the elderly man received a telegram that his beloved son was missing in action. The art collector anxiously awaited more news, fearing he would never see his son again. Within days his fears were confirmed. The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a medic. Distraught and lonely, the old man faced th

The Story of a Money Tree

In a little town in India, called Aat-Pat Nagar, there lived a wise Brahmin. One day the Brahmin went to the King to ask for alms. The King generously offered him one hundred rupees, but the Brahmin refused to take any money that the King had not earned through work. The King had never worked in his life! He thought of a plan and asked the Brahmin to come back in two days. The next day, the King replaced his robes with a torn, old robe and went to a nearby village. The King asked a man for work and was told to dig earth for the road. The King tried hard, but was soon too tired to work anymore. The man gave the King a rupee coin and told him to go home.

The Brahmin planted the coin in his garden, where it sprouted and grew into a mighty tree covered with shiny rupee coins. A few days later the King's daughters were collecting flowers from all the local gardens and came to vis
