"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."
- Charles Caleb Colton
To me this quote means friendships come and go. Just like how people live and die. A friendship is easily made, however, it can be broken just as easily. A friendship can be destroyed over time through some sort of corruption, whether it be people hanging out in different crowds, people making new friends, or maybe it's a girl/boy friend. Whatever the case, your friendship can become plagued, just like your health. If you get a cold, you do things to make it better, over time. Say you mess up and your best friend becomes mad at you. What do you do? You do things they like and try to rekindle the friendship. It doesn't happen all at once, it takes time. Just like curing a cold.

The quote above is saying, you don't know what you have until it is gone. The concept of losing a friend doesn't really affect people, it is when someone actually loses a friend, that really matters. Personally, my friends mean the world to me. If I were to get in a fight with one of them and lose them as a friend, it would be heart breaking. I have lost and gained friends in my life. I use to be really good friends with this girl up until last year. My friend and I have known each other since we were in pre school. We use to be best friends, but then she moved away last year. We still keep in touch but our friendship is not the same as it used to be. I really thought that the distance wouldn't affect our friendship, but I realized that part of our friendship was lost. I still feel bad that our friendship isn't the way it used to be, but I am going to try to keep in touch more with her, so that maybe we could become the friends we used to be. Friends are really important, make sure you realize how valuable they are before they are gone.

This quote basically meansyou dont know what you got till its gone. With my friends today, I dont really think about the value of the friendships, but when we go seperate ways, how they were a good friend and all of the stuff we have been through will set in. My friendships are nothing but positive, if they were negative, I wouldnt classify it as a friendship. Sure I have gotten pissed at my friends at some point, but its never enough to stop being their friend. My friends impact my habits, what I like to do on the weekends, and who I am as a person. My friends dont make up everything about me, but a good deal. Im looking foward to our highschool reunion and to see where everyone ended up and who they have become. We'll all sit down together and catch up and talk about the past. Kinda weird to think about.

The quote, "True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost," by Charles Caleb Colton is basically saying that you might not know how much someone means to you until they are gone. For example, one of my good friends moved to the other side of the United States, but that doesnt mean that our friendship is gone. Although I miss her, she still comes to Michigan to visit and we talk all the time still. Growing up I had a friend and we were more like sisters than best friends. We did everything together, but then during middle school we started drifting apart and not talking as much. I knew that I had lost a best friend and I never really relized just how good our friendship was until it was gone. Over time we have became friends again, and that is what the quote is saying. True friendship is like health, once you are sick, it takes time to get better again.
My very best friend and I are very different and the same in ways also. I think that is one of the reasons why we can never stay mad at each other for long and why we are such good friends.

To me thsis quote means that you don't know what you have until you lose it. Some people don't calue their friendships as much as they should. Other take advantenge of their friendships. I never would tak advantage of a friendship just because my friends are like my everything. Like everyone else in life I have lost friends and I have gainednew one. After going though these things I have concluded that I don't want to lose anymore friends. I never thought about the value of friendship until I lost friends, and that how it is for something. You just have to learn the hard way sometimes.
I think that this quote is saying that friendships come and go. You dont really realize how much they mean to you until you lose them. Same as if a family member dies. You never know when someone is going to die. I think that friend ships are verry easily made. THey can also be verry easilly broken too though. To me my friends are like my life, they help me through everything. If i lost any of my friends i dont know what i would do. Friends are a verry important thing to have. Dont take them for granted and make sure you know how important they are.

There is a huge difference between real friends and people we just kind of talk to. Lets face it, we all have the people that we consider friends, that we just talk to at school, or at work, but never really get close to them. Now even those these people are a big part of our life, we wouldnt really be crushed if we stopped talking to them, or we werent in the same class with them anymore. The real friends that we have are the friends we can tell anthing. The friends who we have grown up with, the friends we can trust no matter what happens. Friendships come and go throughout your whole life. The real friends that you have, are the ones that have always been there, the ones that don't come and go. I think the quote is trying to say that these friendships are very important, and that they make a huge difference in our lives.
The quote "True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost," by Charles Caleb Colton, has shown to be true throughout anyones life i think. It means you dont know what you have until its gone. Like you take being healthy for granted until you get sick. You take your friendships for granted untl you dont have them anymore. It sucks but sometimes thats what it takes for someone to realize what they had. It happens all the time in high school. One friend takes advantage of another until the one being taken advatage of leaves. I had a friend that treated me like crap. She would always be mean to me and use situations with ither people to make me look dumb and herself look better. Eventually i got sick of it and stopped caring about being arund her or anything she said or did. It sucked but it was what she needed to realize what she was doing wrong, and she did. She started making the effort to be nice to me and eventually things got fixed. It sucks when it has to come to something like that but sometimes its neccessary for the friendship to move forward and be good again. Other times you might loose a friend forever, but thats just how life goes.
I dont really know what sound health means but i feel the definition is talking about relationships with friends and how they are important. The definition is acctually stating how you may have a really good relationship with someone as friends but do not realize how important that person really is untill you loose him or her. So lets say you are really close to somebody and you get into a fight. The two of you then stop talking for awhile and after a couple days you look back and realize how much it sucks not to have that person. Personally, i love having friends due to the fact that i am a social person. I love being able to talk to friends about stuff and also be able to do things and have fun with others. I also find that this hurts me in some ways, such as not being able to focus on school due to the fact that i always want to be doing things. I have noticed how much my grades have went down as i reach bigger schools. i find this because the number of people multiply i feel the need to make new friends and always wanting to have fun.

This quote by Charles Caleb Colton simply means that you dont know what you have until it is gone. Since the 1st grade i have had one and only one BEST friend, i have plenty of people who are great friends but only one best friend. I think that it is bullshit that other people say they have more than one best friend because it is impossible, there are not that many best friends in this god for-saken world and to the people that think they have more than one best friend, they can go screw themselves. a true best friend is hard to come by, luckily for me i came by mine in first grade. Not to get me wrong it sucks ass that he moved away a couple of years ago but thats not the point. The point im trying to make is that when you find that one true friend you need to hold on to them for the rest of your life. So what you may argue with them but thats what all friendships have and if you lose that best friend than shame on you because odds are you will not find another true friend like that.

This quote goes along with the saying you don't know what you have until it is gone. Colton is comparing health to friendship, because both are taken for granted. Many people don't think of how much a friend really means to them, because the friend is always there. It is when that friend is gone that you realize how important they were. I have many friends, but there are only a few I can say that I am really close to, and only one I can call my best friend. It is nice to have a person who you are really close to for help and to have fun with. I think the main purpose of friendship is to have someone there for you, and someone to have fun with. A negative part of my friendships is that I have lost many friends. My really good friend from dance quit, and I didn't realize how important she was to me until she did so. We don't talk anymore, and I makes me sad because I lost a best friend. I took her for granted because I never thought that she or I would leave, and when she did, I realized how much I depended on our friendship. I think that once a friendship is lost, it is really hard to mend because people change. Me and my friend from dance have seen each other from time to time, but because both of us have changed and have gotten new friends, its not the same as it used to be. There have also been friendships that have been broken because we grew apart. Some of these friendships I didn't try to mend, and now I wish I had. A positive of my friendships is that I have people that I can really trust and depend on. Me and my friends can tell each other everything, and I know that if I have a problem they will be there for me. We don't really get mad at each other, just because we are so alike. Friendships are one of the best things in life, and I hope that I don't take any of my friends for granted, because I know how bad it would be if one of them were gone.

This quote means that in many aspects of life we take many things for granted. And that its hard to fully appreciate something you have until you lose it. you don't know somethings full value until it is taken away from you. Out of all of my friends and acquaintances i take my mom for granted the most. She does so much for me and i rarely to never acknowledge her for the things she does for me. and i know if something were to happen to her, god forbid, that i'd miss all the things she had done for me. and realize how much it was that she did for me, and how much i took for granted. I feel like i have a good relationship with my close friends. I know that i can trust them with anything, and that they'll always be there for me.
"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost" written by Charles Caleb Colton, explains that friendship is a great thing and when you have a true friendship, you will always feel your best and feel as if you are part of something. When you loose friendship, you can feel that mourning of what was, and how it really does affect your life. My dad always told me by the time I grow old and have no more use of living, I could probably only count on one hand the amount of true friends I actually have. At this point I have filled two of those fingers. I have one friend that I always have fun with and I feel lively to the point where I could do anything by my side. There is a plaque in my cabin that says “ A friend would always be there to bail you out of jail, but your true friend is the one sitting next to saying that was a hell of a night.” That would be her. To tell you the truth, my other really good friend, I have known since first grade, is the same way. We have so much fun together and I always experience things with her that I don’t think I could with my other best friend. The only down sight of having that true friend is having that person so close to you that you almost feel related to them which results in fighting with them over stupid stuff. Then again, we get over it fast! Overall, I believe 100% in this quote and can defiantly relate this to my life. I couldn’t live without my two great friends I have at this point.

I agree with the quote by Charles Caleb. People tend to not appreciate what they have until it is gone. An example that the quote gives is friendship and health but unfortunately there are many more in life. I know that I have definently taken things for granted and not been appreciative of what I have. Then when all of a sudden everything is gone, it makes me want to go back and I realize how good I had it. This teaches me that life is really short and its better to be thankful and happy to be living everyday. Good things only last so long and the good times shouldn't just be taken for granted. I know that in my life, friendship isn't ever taken for granted. Lately, I've been really relying on my friends for a lot of things and I really don't know what I would do without them. I don't have a lot of negative friendships because if its hurting me or not working out I distance myself because I don't really need that in my life. I have a few best friends and a lot that are high up there and its really nice to know that they always have my back and can pick me up when I'm having a hard time.

As i have heard from my grandparents and parents, we take alot of things for granted. These things dont always have to be, money and technology. I feel friendship is one as well. These friend ships can become great relationships, and you rely on them. They are part of a daily life, and when they are gone you feel something is missing. Negatively, i wouldnt say i have friendships. They are all postive, with people i enjoy being around.
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."
- Charles Caleb Colton
As I see it this quote is similar to the quote "you never know what you have until it's gone". And I agree with both of those quotes. People take everything they have for granted and never appreciate it after it's too late. On top of that people seem to call other people "friends" even if they barely know the person(s). If you have a good friendship then that means your friend can pick you up when you're down. It means your friend will stick up for you no matter what, and that they'll help you through thick and thin. But the down side is that after a while you may become too used to having some one there to lean on, and when that person vanishes your whole life might become hectic. I think that one should never count on anyone but themselves. I also try to stick close to this quote, "Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink; but, if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love; if you must steal, steal away from bad company; if you must cheat, cheat death; and if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away."
I think the quote “True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost" By Charles Caleb Colton means basically you don’t know what you got till it’s gone. I’ve had friends that I was best friends with and where I’ve lost them and it sucks. An example is last year one of my best friends Allyson and I got into a huge fight, like really bad. I did something bad and she said she didn’t want to talk to me anymore, it only took me minuets too realize, I needed her to be my best friend. I took advantage of our friendship and I didn’t realize it till it was done. Obviously we worked it out because we are best friends again. One thing I’ve realized is friendship is something that has to be respected, it has to be a give and take, people may not realize it but it sucks to lose one of your best friends. Until you’ve experienced it you’ll never truly know how fragile friendship is.
To me this quote means that friendships keep you in balance. This also means live it to the fullest because when it's gone it's gone. A friendship that is good and true creates a bond just like that of a brother. To me it always gives you more knowledge. learning from others, gaining new interests and sometimes a new look on life. Some friendships can just suck too. You always have a friend that gets you in trouble, starts new bad habits etc. My friends are priceless. Most true friends are there for me and have the same common interests as well. I learn new things from them and like teaching them new things too. A negative thing is that some people with slightly different interests can get on your nerves now and then. This eventually can lead to a fight at times. 9/10 times though we all get along and I will always be there until I die.
This is an amazing quote and its so true! I don't really have a lot of close friends but the ones that I do have are amazing. I used to have a few really close friends and until this year I didn't even realize how much I treasured those friendships. On the upside I have one super amazing best friend. I don't know what I would do if I lost her. I know that she is always here for me. I know that I often take our friendship for granted, like many others. I never realized or thought about my friendship with my dad until I losted it. This quote makes me think about how thankful people should be for who they have.
Tayler Chase
The quote means that the value of friendship isn't truly known until it's gone. Which is definately true in my life. I say this because right now I couldn't tell somebody how lucky I am to have friends because I truly don't know. I've never lost a true friend. I have a lot of friends, but only one true friend. To me, a true friend is somebody who will go above and beyond to try and make me/others feel better. My favorite quote is, "I make a wall not to block others out, but to see who'll climb over it to reach me." I don't remember who said that, but it's true for me.
James Richardson
This quote means to me: We all take our health for granted. Until we start feeling bad it doesn't even cross our mind that we are not invinsable. The same thing goes for friendships. We think everything is going fine until someone breaks your friendship. Until we have lost that special friend we don't even question that they will not be our friend forever. Something that comes to my mind is friendships that started in elementary and middle school. Friends that I had in earlier in life have taken a different road. It's sad that they did not value my friendship and stay in touch with me. When you look back in life you see the friendships that have come and gone. Since some of the earlier friends did not have the same values as I; this was probably a good think. When my friend Gunyi went back to Korea I didn't think much of it until I recently received an e-mail from him. That made me think how much I value our friendship and didn't even think of until I heard him. We need to think of our good friends and take the time to show them we care. Losing a good friendship is definitely losing something of value.
The quote "True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." By Charles Caleb Colton kind of is like you don't know what you've got until its gone. Friendship is a very powerful thing. It could be good one moment, than bad the next. It is like a get away from everything else. It impacts me by letting me know that I'm cared about and not lonely. Its nice to have someone or more then one person that I have a friendship with when I'm not in the best mood. But if you were yo lose it, nothing would be the same. Having friendships is very important to me, and impacts my life a lot.

This quote relates to the known fact that you never know what you had, until it's gone. Basically this quote is saying that, you never know how much friend meant to you, until you lost them. Most people don't really understand this concept until it happens to them. Then once they try getting the person back or whatever it is that you lost, and you can't, you realize and understand the concept. I have a friend that I've been friends with since 3rd grade, and we were the best of friends. We were so close through the years, along with another friend. You could say that we were three peas in a pod. However, my one friend decided to go to a different high school, and Freshman year was fine, and the same with sophomore. Although, once the summer of sophomore year and junior year hit, and now we barley speak. On occasion we will, but it's not the same and I don't think it ever will be. The point is, was that she was a great friend, and we were friends for so long, it's sad to see that our friendship that once was so strong was lost. How this has impacted me though is, I understand that people change, it's just part of life. I do miss the way the friendship used to be, but what I miss the most is the way that she used to be.

Its amazing how true this quote is. You never know just how much someone means to you until they are gone. I recently lost one of my best friends. I can honestly tell you that I had no idea what he meant to me until he was gone. He was one of the few people that I could have called at 3 in the morning to talk to. I was a shy kid back in middle school, and Brandon helped me learn, that I didnt need to be somebody I wasnt just so people would like me. He helped me realize that I should just be myself, and that would be good enough. Its amazing the impact he had on my life. It was huge, as it was with most people. However, it was not until I was sitting down trying to write a eulogy that I realized this. Death, as tragic as it is, is an eye opener. It helps you to realize that you should look at things below the surface. I wish, that I would have known this sooner. It would have made all of this just a little bit easier.
This quote by Charles Caleb Colton has many meanings to me. First, I think of how you never know how percious a friendship is till its gone. I feel that when you relize that person is gone, you realize how much they really meant to you. I also think of how friendships come and go. And only your true friends will stay with you forever. You wont need them to leave to realize how important they are. Their has been a lot of friends that i have lost, but I know that only my true friends will be their till the end.
The quote is basically saying that you never know what you have until it is gone. For example no one really knows how much a friend means to them until that friend is gone. A friendship can be made easily, but it is also hard to maintain. A friendship can be destroyed any different ways; growing apart, lying, distrust, betraying, and lack of caring towards a person. For example if your best friend gets mad at you, you need to ind things to do to show that person that you care about them and want them to remain your friend. if you have a fight with a friend, things will not just go away, you have to fix them yourself. You cannot count on things to just work out on there own. Put the effort in and you should have good and steady friendships for time to come.

I think this quote is saying that we take friendship for granted. It also is saying that we don't realize how important friendship is to you until it is taken away. I myself fear that with the responsibility of becoming older and more mature i will lose the friends i have had for many years. I hope to stay in touch with my group of friends as I go on to achieve my life goals. Friendship has very few negatives perhaps the only one i can think of right now is stress. Some friendships make you stressed out when you get into arguments and what not. But if you are really friend you know that you can always come back to them. I know that if i ever needed something that i could turn to my close friends for help and advise and this is what i fear of loosing.
Taylor Wattles
i think this means you dont know wat you have until its gone or somthing like that. the quote says that true freindship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.i dont know wat mr.colton means by sound health tho. but i think this quot just simply means people will come and go in your life. from my personaly experionses i have learned that somtimes your only suppose to be freinds with someone for a small amount of time, and some people your suppose to kow your whole life because you get along with thos people.
all to often we take our health for granted. we dont realize how important things are to us untill their gone. Friendship, like health, is also taken for granted. You come to expect that your friendships and family will always be there, a constant you can always count on. in reality, the only thing you can count on is yourself. if you're truely honest with yourself than you will never let yourself down. although life would be pretty lonely if all you had to rely on is yourself. being there for, and having others there for you even when you let each other down is true value.
For me, I think this quote means that you don't think much about how lucky you are to have a good friend, just like you don't think much about being lucky to be healthy. I value my friends so much, but if I ever lost one of them, I would be really upset. True friends are hard to get, and they have helped me through problems. When I went through a time where it felt like all my friends I had were turning on me, I discovered my few true friends through it. By having negative friends that spread rumors about me and turn others against me, I found the positive friends that always have my back. True friends are hard to find, which makes it even more upsetting when you lose one. I lost one of my close guy friends a couple years ago and we haven't talked much since then. It makes me upset that we are not still friends, because I loved being able to hang out with him and talk about life. Maybe someday we will be friends again, and maybe not, but what I do know is that I need to be the best friend I can be to the few true friends I have.

I think this quote also goes along with the quote "You don't know what you got till it's gone". Basically you don't realize how much a good friendship has impacted your life until it's gone. Good friendships build you confidence. They are genually happy for you with no strings atached. It's has to do with the health part because you need friendship to survive and prosper. However, friendships can also have a negative impact because sometimes you do not do what you want to do because you seek their approval. Either way, it's better to have one true friend then a ton of friends that arn't true. For certain, true friendships are needed in your life.

This quote goes alone with the saying, you dont know what you have until you've lost it. It means that you dont realize how great and important something is to you until its gone, and when that time comes, when you realize how important something or someone is to you, its usually to late to fix things and set them back to normal. Only true friends can relate to this quote because true friends keep you safe, tell you when you're doing something wrong. The friends that i hang out with everyday, mostly the guys/ buddies, dont correct me if im doing something wrong, they dont try to help me if im in trouble. They're just friends, not necessarily true friends.
To me this quote is explaining that friendship is more than most people realize. It's important to have one person that I can trust no matter what the situation is. The one person to back me up even if they know I'm wrong. Taking great relationships for granted happens, but once they are lost realization comes into play. Realizing that you just let a person you were once close to walk out of your life. I have aquaintences, but those people dont mean as much to me as the person that I call my best friend. Friendship means more to me than just hanging out and going places with a person. If i can stay away from my best friend for a year and come back and it be absolutely the same, then thats what i call a real friendship.
I think this quote is talking about the feeling of you dont know what you have until its gone. What Colton is saying, is that you dont realize how good a friendship was until you dont have that friendship anymore. I believe in this quote. I think that you dont appresiate the sledom value of friendship until its lost. An example of this would be i used to be best friends with this girl. She lived two houses down from me, but then she moved away in the seventh grade. We rarely keep in touch anymore. Its really sad for me because we were literally inseperable and now we hardly have anything in common anymore and rarely talk.
True friendship is hard to find but when and if you do make it worth while and make it last. This quote expressing friendship as a sound health may mean that its something thats externally healthily. It comes for having true friends that actually care about you, treat you with respect and is there for you. "The value of it is seldom known until it be lost" this part basically means that true friendship is hard to come by and its rarely a true friendship. I honestly feel that people don't realize true friendships until their lost and behind them. I've had lots of depending friends that i have lost of the years from many different reasons. All i can say is if you have true friends hold them close and appreciate them.
I believe this quote to be very true. It is saying that true friendship is often taken for granted, just as sound health is. Everyday take advantage of my sight, my hearing abilities, the ability to walk, talk, and just being in good health, and dont really stop to think of how lucky I am. Some people dont have all these great things. Well it's the same way with a friendship. Sometimes people take advantage of being good friends with someone, and do not stop to appreciate how lucky they really are to have such a good friend that they can count on and trust. For me, I've figured out that true friendships always have their ups and downs, no matter what. But those are the good ones, the ones to keep. If you never have a disagreement with a friend, somethings not right, they are lying to you, most likely behind your back. So the true friends are ones that you can get in disagreements with, and they will still be there for you in the outcome of things.
I think the quote "True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." means that you don't understand what you truely have until it's gone. When you have a friend or someone that means a lot, you don't really know how much they mean to you until they aren't in your life anymore. An example in my life is when one of my best friends started to distance herself, and i started talking shit about her. And being really rude to her. After a while we got into a huge fight and we stopped talking to eachother for like 3 weeks. After awhile we both apoligized. But we still aren't as close as we used to be. When we got into that fight and even after i realized that i had lost a lot more than just a friend. I could talk to her about anything all the time, and we were literally attached at the hip. But now we barely talk and i can't remember the last time we hung out. But by losing that friend I gained another, jessica. and shes seriously like my sister now. So even if something bad happens, something good always comes out of it.

-Charles Caleb Colton
I could not agree more with Charles Caleb Colton’s quote, “True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.” Throughout my entire life, I have found that among all my greatest defects, not knowing exactly what I have until it is long gone has hurt me the most in the end. Now, I have some pretty amazing friends and they positively influence my life almost everyday. I would be utterly lost without the true friends that I have now who will always there for me. In my past, I have had friends’ come and go. To be completely honest, one of the hardest things I ever went through occurred just after 8th grade. During that summer, I lost my best friend. We had known each other since we were newborns and we grew up completely inseparable. She had changed a lot, I had changed as well and we grew apart. We never got in a fight, we never hated each other we just stopped talking and hanging out completely. It was hard enough starting high school without her, but that summer I felt like something huge was missing from my life. I had no idea how much our friendship truly meant to me until it was lost. I still see her everyday in school; in fact she sits behind me in your class. We are far from being as close as we used to be, but there is absolutely no hate between us. I have new friends and so does she but she will always have a huge impact on my life. In short, Colton’s quote is one of the best quotes I have heard in a long time because it is so true and maybe in the future I can try to remember it so that I do not wait until a relationship is lost to realize the value of a true friend.

This quote is saying that we all take advantage of friendships. We don't realize the importance of them in our eveyday lives. So, once (or if) we let these friendships slip away, we fianlly realize the importance of the friendship and how we really need them to survive. It is like your health. When you are completely healthy you don't think anything of it. But once you get sick or something you realize how much you miss and enjoy being healthy. Friendships are important to us becasue then we know someone has our back at all times if they are a true friend. However, if we lose our friendship, we realize we are on our own. Friendships are also important to our health. We feel better about ourselves when we have friends.
This qoute by Charles Caleb Colton means that you can get friends just as fast as you lose them. If you are just thinking about what it would be like to lose a friend, it will not seem as bad. But once you lose a friend it is worse than you could think. There are 2 different types of friends one is school/work friends which you only really talk to at your school/work. Then there are your friends that you hang out with outside of school. You never know what true friendship is until you have done something to lose a friend. You don't realize how valuable a friend is until you lose them. Just realize that before it is to late.

I think this quote is saying thatwhen u have true friendship u are truely happy. Maybe ur life isn't the greatest but if u have a true friend u can always be happy. A postive thing about this is u can have someone to help u or maybe u can have someone to help u out with ur problems. A con is that maybe u want to be alone. That other person won't like that. Maybe u want to hang outnwith some one else and that other person feels likenu should always hang with themm. If unare truely happy then u may always will want to hang out with them. If u are truely happy then u will live happy.

Friendship is something more important that just money. You can never buy a friend because a real friend is there for you when you need them. Some times just their presence may heal you when you are hurt emotionally. I feel that when a friend has left you did not know how much they meant to you. I have had numerous amounts of friends that over the years that I have lost. It is hard to think about the old ties that I once had that are now gone. Like your health, once they are gone it is hard to get them back.

To me this quote is saying that true friendships are hard to find and harder to be lost. It relates friendship to sound health because all humans will be sick sometime in their lives and it's a common event in our lives.
Friendship impacts my life greatly. My dad always says you can never have too many friends. True you can't because you should be considerate of everybody but I believe that you can only have so many true friends. To me, a true friend is someone that will always be there for me no matter what happens. My friends are my life. They help me live it. They make it good and bad. Friends are something that are very important to me and I'm happy that I'm blessed with the true friends I have right now.

The quote "True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." by Charles Caleb Colton is so true. To me this quote is stating that the value of friendship isn't fully realized until it's lost. Sometimes we take our friends for granted, and we don't realize how much they mean to us. I have lost and gained many friends in my life. Its always the hardest to loose a friend you were closest to, and you don't realize how much you had until its gone, and alot of times you can't get it back. In fact, i did loose one of my closest friends, not by choice. At first i didnt think much of it, but when i look back, being that it was kinda recent i wonder what i could have done to change it. My friends are very important to me, they help me with everything. I try to respect what i have with all my friends and not ruin it, because i would never want to loose any of them. Some of the hardest things ive had to go through are because of friendships, whether its with parents, siblings or my bestfriends, it always means alot. This quote could not be more true, you really never know how lucky you are or what you have until you loose it.
This quote is very true. You don't know what you have until its gone. To me, this quote means that you dont realize how good things are, until something goes wrong. Friendships can come very easy, but they can also be broken very easy. My friendships are definitely positive, because if they werent, it wouldnt be friendship. I do get mad at some of my friends from time to time, but ive never been mad enough to destroy a friendship. I was best friends with this kid since pre school. He moved to NC in 4th grade. We visited him a few times but it wasnt the same. I thought we would always be friends but things changed.

- Charles Caleb Colton
To me this quote means many things. One of them is friendship is a very important thing. You need to realize what you have before it is gone. A friendship may have its ups and downs, but a friendship is more than that. Friendship is often taken as a thng of nature or for granted. A friendship is one of the most importan things in life, and you should take them for granted. You never know what you have until it is gone.

The quote is basicly saying thats when it comes to friendship that is actualy worth vaule and pure, it is something not known till its gone. I would have to agree with this soundly. It is hard now adays to finds friendships with people vs. when I was younger. I find it harder to trust people and realyl get along with them. People seem so materialistic and superficial. I particulary like how the quote relates to being healthy, that in the end you only know when you aren't healthy that you actualy were before. I have had friendships go very well and some horribley wrong, as I think everyone has. It is just something you learn about as you get older. You being to realize who you really want in your life and who is a true friend. Even though, I only have a few friends I feel this way about I wouldn't change that for the world.

"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."
- Charles Caleb Colton
I think this quote means that friendship is taken advantage of, and taken for granted, and until its gone, people don't realize how much it means. I've just recently become aware of how much people take true friendship for granted. For awhile now, I was extremly close with a few girls, we considered ourselves practically sisters. Yet, I had allowed them to walk over me, and I had taken so much shit from them that I didn't deserve. I kept thinking things would change, and get better. So, I just kept hanging out with them, and letting all the shit roll off my back. But, they have finally crossed the line. Now, they've lost a friend, they dont even know they've lost yet. But, with all that negativity, it has pushed me closer to people that actually care about me. Which, in the end, is better for me. It just goes to show you that people don't pay much attention to true friendships, ones that will last a lifetime, as opposed to high school friendships.
To me this quote means friendships come and go. Just like how people live and die. You can easily make new friends but its just as easy to keep them. Some friendships last and some don't. its a part of life and it happens to everyone. You will most likely lose the most important person in your life when you get older. I never would take advantage of a friendship. all my friend mean a lot to me, and i know i would hate to lose them. you really never figure out the values of a friendship untill you lost one.
This quote to me is saying that you take your true friends and good health for granted and you dont know how good things were untill their gone. Its like what people say, " you dont know what you have till its gone". For me I have my few true friends that I know are always there for me. If I were to ever loose one of my close friends, I dont know what I would do. Friendship always has its negitive sides though. To find your true friends you have to go through fake friends, he people who are completely fake are all around. I think this is espicially common with girls, people are nice to your face and once you turn around they talk all this crap. I have realized that to find those few true friends in life, you have to go through some bad ones. I have had to loose some friends lately, but once you find your true friends you never want to let them go, because they are hard to find.

"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." ~Charles Caleb Colton
This quote can mean a lot of things in life. If we lose a friend, it can be sad to us. When we lose our health, we realize that we will never get it back. In life, we have to understand that friendship cannot be taken for granted. We also can't take our health for granted. We only get one life, and often we have only one chance to gain or lose a friendship. I have always tried to keep my friendships close. Friendship is something that we shouldn't let go of even in the tough times. Our friendship can become sick, just as we can.
This quote means having friendships are like your health, you do not really pay attention to how important it is until it is gone. To me,however, this quote means cherish your friendships, treat the people in your life with the upmost respect. I had a best friend sense 5th grade, Sam McGraw. My boyfriend at the time's best friend Jake became my best friend too. I introduced Sam to Jake, and after a while she put him first. Jake and I soon felt the pressures of trying to share her and we fought a lot. He blew up on me one day and called me a whole bunch of names and was just being an ass, so i called Sam and blew up on her because her boyfriend was calling me names and she was not sticking up for me. We were crying and she was really upset, I lost my best friend after that. We were best friends for six years, neighbors, sisters, and inseperable. I treated her horribly and blammed her for something that was not her fault. It still gets to me sometimes, because we were such a huge part of eachothers lives for so long. The irony in this is they are now broken up and Jake and I are still best friends. I now treat my only best friend, Jake, with respect and we hardly fight. I have learned my lesson; love everyone and everything with your whole heart.
I believe that this quote means friendship comes and goes. Making friends isn't that hard, you just need to be able to talk to new people. Friendships are very easily made but can also be broken just as easily. Normally when you start a friendship with one person it comes with thier friends to. Most people hangout in groups or Cliqus. I have friends that I hangout with in school and Friends that I hangout with outside of school. The four people I mostly hangout with are Allyson, Kyle, Andrew, and James. The positive aspects of having a friendship with someone is it allows you to get out of your house, away from your parents and just go be yourself.
