At 37, I honestly can say I've never known a truly good, loving Valentine's Day. Most have been alone. Many have been with tears. It's one of the emptiest feelings I ever get, being so alone on a day when the world celebrates love. I know real life doesn't measure up to the fantasy ads of jewelers and stuff, but still it hurts.
So, I want to wish all of you a happy Valentine's Day tomorrow. It's not a romantic love, but it's a friendship love. None of you is alone. I promise. Some of my favorite friendship quotes:
1. A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.
2. Never judge someone by who he's in love with; judge him by his friends. People fall in love with the most appalling people. Take a cool, appraising glance at his pals.
3. In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.
4. A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view.
5. Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.
6. A faithful friend is the medicine of life.
7. Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings.
8. Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.
9. A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
10. How delightful to find a friend in everyone.
