we are not enemies, but friends. we must not be enemies. though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. the mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.

~abraham lincoln

the friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away.

~barbara kingsolver

friendship... is not something you learn in school. but if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. ~muhammad ali
