    “May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home. May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam… ” ~ Irish Proverb

      “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. 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 with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” ~ Henri Nouwen

        “Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves–and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us-for various reasons, at various levels of intensity-they enrich the quality of our emotional life.” ~ Judith Viorst

          “The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?” ~ Henry David Thoreau

            “What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. ” ~ Albert Camus

              “We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindness there is at last one which makes the heart run over. ” ~ Dr. Samuel Johnson

                “Some come and leave, fulfilling a single purpose; others, for a time or a season to teach us by sharing their experiences; and last, a select few who participate forever with relationships that endure through eternity.” ~ Jaren L. Davis

                  “Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”

                  Ann Landers

                    “A good friend is a connection to life, a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.” ~ Lois Wyse

                      If you're not making mistakes... Then you're not making decisions.

                        "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." ~ Albert Einstein

                          Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.

                              Knowledge is the food of the soul.

                                “Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” ~ Rachel Carson

                                  "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." ~ Maya Angelou
