On Friendship

"A friend is someone who walks in when the
rest of the world walks out."

"True friends are like diamonds, precious
but rare."

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend."

Is Anyone Out There?

How is life with you, my friends?
How are you doing today?
Is anything exciting happening in your lives?
Is something causing you to feel blue?
Have you a joke you are wanting to share?
Have you a story to tell?
Things are so quiet, I miss you all.
Is anyone at all out there?

If you have one true friend
you have more than your share.
Thomas Fuller

Being considerate of others
will take you further in life
than any college degree.
