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.

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?

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.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

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
