The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.
Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.
Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing.
I have a couple of girlfriends who are like healing. We take care of each other. They know when I need to be taken care of.
Friendship takes time and energy if it's going to work. You can luck into something great, but it doesn't last if you don't give it proper appreciation. Friendship can be so comfortable, but nurture it-don't take it for granted.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repair.
