(page 5)
The good man is the friend of all living things.
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.
One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
A friend is a gift you give yourself.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

Nothing is as dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is to be preferred.
When I was able to go to school in my early years, my third grade teacher, Ms. Harris, convinced me that one day I would be a writer. I heard her, but I knew that I had to leave Georgia, and unlike my friend Ray Charles, I did not go around with 'Georgia on My Mind'.
You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
I was riding my mountain bike in Colorado, and I met a dog who reminded me so much of my very first dog in the way she interacted with me, looked at me, and wagged her tail that I rode away convinced I'd just very possibly met the reincarnated version of my long lost friend.
It pays to know the enemy — not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.
I've known my best friend since I was a baby, and I don't know what I would do without her. She is always straight with me and can make me laugh hysterically. Everyone should have someone like that in their life.
