by Winslow Homer (1836–1910)
TI think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.
― Jon Katz
Words are easy, like the wind; faithful friends are hard to find.
― William Shakespeare, The Passionate Pilgrim
