Helen Keller on friendship

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

The world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming it.

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Albert Camus1913–1960

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King Jr.1929–1968Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, Steeler Lecture, November 1967.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one!’

C. S. Lewis1898–1963
