Friendship and Love Quotes - You Have a Friend

Friendship and love quotes ...

... help you understand what it really means to have a friend. There's nothing more comforting than having someone who you can count on when the chips are down, someone who shows up to help because they know you need it, even when you're too damn proud to ask for it.

The love of a friend is not complicated by sexual attraction: it just is, plain and simple. A friend is as a friend does, as illustrated in the beautiful friendship poem below.

Friend Love Quotes and Poems

When trouble comes your soul to try

You love the friend who just "stands by."

Perhaps there's nothing he can do--

The thing is strictly up to you;

For there are troubles all your own,

And paths the soul must tread alone;

Times when love cannot smooth the road

Nor friendship lift the heavy load,

but just to know you have a friend

Who will "stand by" until the end,

Whose sympathy through all endures,

Whose warm handclasps is always yours ---

It helps, some way to pull you through,

Although there's nothing he can do,

And so with fervent heart you cry:

"God bless the friend who just 'stands by'!"
