On the moral plane, true friends enjoy the same protection as the sense of smell confers upon dogs. They scent the sorrow of their friends, they divine its causes, and they clasp it to their minds and hearts.
I am very blessed to have a great group of long-term friends and a huge family that has been very loving and supportive. I try to stay connected to that and contribute as much as I can.
We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.
Affection is the broadest basis of a good life.
When we love and make loving commitments, we create families and communities within which people can grow and take risks, knowing that hands will be there to catch them should they fall.
Everyone deserves to have someone who loves them.
Friends are the support bras of life.
What is a family without love? And by family I don't just mean a packed kitchen table with a hoard of children around it. A family can be made up of any number of people. Me and my fiancee are our own little family, a family of two (and the dog!), and our love is at the heart of that.
I see reflections of what I love about myself in the love and care I receive from my friends, family, and co-workers who, in turn, allow me to love and care about them.
Friendship is also a kind of medicine, and the markets for it, too, are sometimes black.
Personally, when I'm picking friends, I like the ones who don't make me cry myself to sleep.
All human relations untouched by love take place in the dark
