In prosperity it is very easy to find a friend;
in adversity, nothing is so difficult.
~ Epictetus.
You will make more friends in a week by getting yourself interested in other people than you can in a year by trying to get people interested in you.
~ Arnold Bennett.
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
~ Donna Roberts.
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 curing, not healing, and face us with the reality of our powerlessness, that is the friend who cares.
~ Henri J.M. Nouwen.
