and energy.

A little advice for women on how to keep their man happy:
'Keep the cave clean. They want the cave clean and spotless. Air-conditioned
if possible. Sharpen his spear, and stick it in his hand
when he goes out in the morning to spear the bear. And when the bear
chases him, console him when he comes home at night. Tell
him what a big brave man he is. And then hide the spear so he doesn't
fall over it and stab himself.'
Jerome Chodorov
A relationship is a living thing. It needs and benefits from the same
attention to detail that an artist lavishes on his art.
David Viscott
'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 Nouwen
The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the
right companion.

We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man
who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of
losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and
holds its peace in impotence.
Joseph Roux
The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person?
Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?
Eugene Kennedy
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little
mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to
save it from drying out completely.
Pam Brown
Friends are treasures.
Horace Bruns
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast
may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Buddha
When I find myself fading, I close my eyes and realize my friends are my
energy.
Anonymous
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
Elbert Hubbard
He who has a thousand friends
Has not a friend to spare,
While he who has one enemy
Shall meet him everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The road to a friend's house is never long.
Danish proverb
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried
before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow grow,
and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to
the appellation.
George Washington
Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you
learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really
haven't learned anything.
Muhammad Ali
A Friend....
