No matter how good a friend is, once in a while there will be hiccups in the friendship. A misunderstanding, a word spoken out of turn when stressed, or in a moment of anger, or a insensitive comment dropped unintentionally, or a quarrel over difference of opinion. If we can’t forgive our friend these, we might as well not make any friends.
Do not let hurt turn to grudge. This is one sure way to destroy a friendship. Forgive your friend and move on. Understand that every friendship goes through its good and bad phases. However, you can make a difference by taking the first step and bridging the gap. Life is too short to hold grudges and harbour bitterness.
Cherish the people who have been with you and are always with you because, “Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.” - Jean de La Fontaine

It’s important to make friendships that are deeper than gossiping and drinking, and smoking, and going out. Make friends who you can go get breakfast with, make friends you can cry with, make friends who support your life goals and believe in you. - Unknown
Friendship is also about liking a person for their failings, their weakness. It’s also about mutual help, not about exploitation. - Paul Theroux
One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention. - Clifton Fadiman
There is no distance too far between friends, for friendship gives wings to the heart. - Kathy Kay Benudiz
Friendship isn’t about who you have known the longest, but about who came and never left your side. - Unknown
If you have friends, do not be afraid to express your friendship, do not be afraid to tell them that you admire or love them. If you love anybody why not say so? It costs you nothing but it may mean everything to your friend and to your friendship. - Unknown
