Remember to build each other up, to strengthen and sustain, to keep companionship lovely and alive.

It is possible for two people who have wide differences of preference and opinion, of habits, of teaching, of training, of background and belief to enjoy the company of each other in many ways. Indeed, a diversity of friendships is one of life's real enrichments. To learn of the goodness of those who are unlike-their worth, their sincerity, their good hearts, their good minds, their good company-is rich and rewarding. It is wonderful to have a wide range of choice friends who can be counted on, friends who can be enjoyed and loved and trusted. Such is the meaning of friendship.

Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.

Go ahead with your life, your plans.... Don't waste time by stopping before the interruptions have started.
