A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

Bernard Meltzer

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Albert Einstein

Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves--and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we're okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us-for various reasons, at various levels of intensity-they enrich the quality of our emotional life.

Judith Viorst

Lack of patience in small matters can create havoc in great ones.

Chinese proverb

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.

Benjamin Disraeli
