But instead of becoming cramped and crowded, the space expands, and you discover rooms you never knew you had until your friend moved in with you.

Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that. Charlotte in “Charlotte’s Web”

These are good quotes, Jenny. :)

Those are very nice Jenny. I remember years ago in High School, I had a Science teacher who was very philosophical and would trail off topic and talk about the meaning of life.

I remember he talked about friendship. He said that the old saying is that you're blessed if you can count your true friends on one hand. He said he thought we're truly blessed if we can count a great friend one finger. He said a true friend is someone who, if your house burns down, will not only take you in, but will take in your family and pets too.

That's always stuck with me.

"best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare
false friends are like leaves, found everywhere"
