Friends and friendship have been on my mind a lot as my due date gets closer. Found some quotes that I enjoy on the subject, thought I'd share.
"I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship."
-- Pietro Aretino (1537)
"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's the ones you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that really matter.
-- Marlene Dietrich
Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends.
-- Czech. Proverb
“I have lost friends, some by death, others through sheer inability to cross the street.”
- Virginia Woolf
The last one makes me laugh, because I see and talk to several people that live hours away (you all know who you are) on a more consistent basis than I do with people who live less than 25 miles from me....and I don't get to see you all much anymore so you can imagine!
:)
Have a good day
