I would like a quote that has to do with people that claim they're your friends but don't contact you till they need something. The other other is a quote that says something about the frist step of forgiveness is letting go of their throat. Thanks for your time and have a great day. Jenniferjlong@gpstc.state.ga.us

I have some quotes:
~It is better to have one friend of great value than to have many friends of little value.
~Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings.
--Jean De La Bruyere
~Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
--Kahlil Gibran

Perhaps there is something here worth using and/or remembering.

Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.
- Scott Adams

They who forgive most shall be most forgiven.
- Philip James Bailey

"I can forgive, but I cannot forget," is only another way of saying "I will not forgive." A forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note, torn in two and burned up, so that it never can be shown against the man.
- Henry Ward Beecher

He who forgives readily only invites offense.
[Fr., Qui pardonne aisement invite a l'offenser.]
- Pierre Corneille, Cinna (IV, 4)

Alike reserved to blame, or to commend,
A timorous foe and a suspicious friend.
- Alexander Pope

A friend in power is a friend lost.
- Henry Brooks Adams

One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible.
- Henry Brooks Adams

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
- Diane Ackerman, quoted in "Newsweek"
