A True Friend Knows Your Weaknesses But Shows You Your Strengths; Feels Your Fears But Fortifies Your Faith; Sees Your Anxieties But Frees Your Spirit; Recognizes Your Disabilities But Emphasizes Your Possibilities.
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when
he discovers that someone else believes in him and is
willing to trust him
People will come and people will go,
The seasons will change and it will show,
I will age and so will you,
But our friendship will remain strong and true!
Among the most disheartening and dangerous of . . . advisors, you will often find those closest to you, your dearest friends, members of your own family, perhaps, loving, anxious, and knowing nothing whatever . . .
