I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.
Be more concerned with your character
than your reputation,
because your character is what you really are,
while your reputation
is merely what others think you are.
Without faith, hope and trust there is not promise for the future
and without a promising future, life has no direction, no meaning
and no justification.
