It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
~Arnold Bennett

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.
~H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

There is so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly becomes any of us
To talk about the rest of us.
~Edward Wallace Hoch

Are you tired of all those sissy-ass "friendship" poems
that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality?
Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship:

1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and
plot revenge against the sorry ******* who made you sad.
2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile - I will know you finally got laid.
4. When you are scared - I will bust on you about it
every chance I get.
5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible
stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.
6. When you are confused - I will use little words.
7. When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me
until you are well again. I don't want whatever you
have.
8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your
clumsy ass.

This is my oath...I pledge it till the end.
"Why?" you may ask.
"Because you are my friend."

Send this to 10 of your closest friends, then get depressed because you can only think of 4.
