12 Friendship Quotes to Celebrate Ice Cream Month
Author: Noel Jameson
Why is Ice Cream Month the right month for friendship
quotes? Because what better way is there to celebrate
friendship than over a banana split or fudge brownie
sundae? Even when we're little, we run hand in hand with
our best friends as the ice cream truck comes up the
street. Let's remember the best friendship has to offer
(including sunny summer days with sweet icy treats) with
these twelve heartwarming friendship quotes...
1. "There is nothing we like to see so much as the gleam of
pleasure in a person's eye when he feels that we have
sympathized with him, understood him. At these moments
something fine and spiritual passes between two friends.
These are the moments worth living." ~ Don Marquis
2. "When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our
lives means the most us, we often find that it is those
who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures,
have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds
with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent
with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay
with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can
tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with
us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who
cares." ~ Henri Nouwen
3. But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but
in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent
arrangement of things, the greater part of life is
sunshine. ~ Thomas Jefferson
4. "Your friends will know you better in the first minute
they meet you than your acquaintances will know you in a
thousand years." ~ Richard Bach
5. "Walking with a friend in the dark is better than
walking alone in the light." ~ Helen Keller
6. "Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by
another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to
those who have rekindled this light." ~ Albert Schweitzer
7. "In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter,
for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed." ~ Kahlil Gibran
8. "Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling
safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor
measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are,
chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will
take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away." ~ George
Eliot
9. "True friendship is like sound health, the value of it
is seldom known until it be lost." ~ Charles Caleb Colton
10. "A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a
good egg even though he knows that you are slightly
cracked." ~ Bernard Meltzer
11. "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two
bodies." ~ Aristotle
12. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down
his life for his friends." ~ Bible, John 15:13
It's true - no matter much money you have or how successful
you are, it all means nothing without a few good friends to
share it with. Let's celebrate our friendships during this
year's Ice Cream Month. Get your friends together and share
a big bowl of ice cream and these great friendship quotes
to kick off the celebration.
