Friendship

Here is this week's quote, now that a wonderful friend has helped me recover the quotes mailing list.

Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

Pointers to Wisdom

Search men's governing principles, and consider the wise, what they shun and what they cleave to.
~ Marcus Aurelius

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

~ William Shakespeare in As You Like It
