Friendship is unnecessary,
like philosophy, like art.
It has no survival value;
rather it is one of those things
that give value to survival.
                 -C. S. Lewis

I especially value the friends
who love me as God loves me--
through no merit of my own!

His thoughts were slow,
His words were few,
and never formed to glisten,
But he was a joy to all his friends--
You should have heard him listen.

A word aptly spoken
is like apples of gold
in settings of silver.

Many women...have buoyed me up

in times of weariness and stress.

Each friend was important....

Their words have seasoned my life.

Influence, just like salt shaken out,

is hard to see, but its flavor is hard to miss.

                                           -Pam Farrel

When one door of happiness closes,
another opens; but often we look so long
at the closed door that we do not see
the one which has been opened for us.

Some of the most rewarding and beautiful moments of a friendship
happen in the unforeseen open spaces between planned activities.
 It is important that you allow these spaces to exist.
