    He who is thy friend indeed,
    he will help thee in thy need.
    If thou sorrow he will weep,
    If thou wake, he canst not sleep.

    Thus with every grief of heart
    He with thee doth bear a part.
    These are certain signs to know
    faithful friend from flattering foe.
    Shakespeare

    Mohammed Ali once defined a friend as someone who would truly die for you. Everyone else is just an aquaintance

    A freind will loan you $100, just because you need it- a really good friend will bail you out of jail!

    When it comes to sharing information with a friend, how much do you share? How much do you keep secret?
    This has happened to me a few times. Recently, a Friend talked about their Jehovah's Witness friend (not I) in conversation, and I just sort of listened in silence. Is your past as a witness something to tell someone? Perhaps a friend?

    I've shared before, but I'm no longer really friends with this person. We've grown apart and I just feel like he just knows something dirty about me.

    Now today, I shared with my boss whats troubling my life. This took place in a ride in his car. We discussed a raise for me. Was this personal or business, but I have also partied with my boss. The work atmosphere is more team like, so I wouldn't really call him a "boss".

    If you have a real true Friend you would not ask them to die for you. If you where a true Friend

    you would not want them to die for you.
