Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus

Henri Nouwen

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Marcel Proust

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
Socrates

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
