Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
- Richard Bach
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. 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 with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
- Henri Nouwen
But remember! when it comes to friends, it’s not how much time you spend with them, just how you spend it!
- Bon Clay
