Friendship Quotes of Silver and Gold
Thank goodness for friendship quotes.
How else could we accurately portray the deep bond that is friendship?
The old Girl Scout chant tells us, "Make new friends, keep the old. One is silver, and the other gold."
I'd like to propose that just as in every fine jewelry store, there are also levels of friendship excellence:
There's friendship level number one (solid sterling silver):
If this person were to leave town, you might feel a pang of sadness, but might also show up to the farewell party just to check out the frosting flavor on the cake.
Friendship level number two (10k gold filled, hypoallergenic silver plated):
This type of friend knows about your struggle with the acne on your face, but might not know that the pimple highway stretches the whole way to your butt. They may have been to your home for dinner, but have never seen it undusted, or with underwear hanging from the shower rod.For this friend, you would gladly pick up a bakery cake for their farewell party.
Level three (silver filled, 18k gold plated):
This type of friendship is in the midst of its first defining moment. There might be a crisis, a problem to be solved, or a banding together of two hearts against a common enemy. Lunches are common. Speed dial has been established. A trip to the beach has revealed your epidermal issues.The cake at the farewell party would be baked by you, using the friend's favorite flavors, and would be sprinkled with your own tears.
Friendship level four (a 24k gold, diamond encrusted Rolex):
This friend not only knows about the acne on your back, but has applied zit cream to it. They have not only run a finger through the dust in your home, but have swiped it away with their own sleeve.
You're first on their speed dial, they've offered you breath mints, and have pulled your underwear from the shower rod and shoved it in the medicine cabinet to hide it from other houseguests.
The cake at this friend's farewell party would not only be baked by you, but would be crafted using the finest Mexican vanilla, freshly ground cocoa beans from the South American rainforest, flour from Kansas wheat (ground with your bare hands), sugar cut with a machete stained with your own blood, and eggs from a chicken that you've lovingly named after your friend. The cake would be floating like a barge down a river of your tears.
What is your level of friendship?
Most friendships begin at level one. But only the ones that make it to level four can truly be called "gold." And only a truly gold friend would appreciate any of your favorite friendship quotes, especially when you refer to your friend as one that is old.Your Top Ten Friendship Quotes:

"They are the family we choose to surround us, the sisters bound by love instead of blood. They know when we are lonely, and appear without being called. When we feel lost, they provide a living map to what comes next; when we doubt everything about ourselves, they remind us who we are." - Barbara Alpert
