FRIENDSHIP

I like these thoughts on friendship:

One of my goals in life is to wind up with eight men who are willing to carry one of my handles. Jay Kesler, Being Holy, Being Human

Soon after Jack Benny died, George Burns was interviewed on TV. “Jack and I had a wonderful friendship for nearly 55 years,” Burns said. “Jack never walked out on me when I sang a song, and I never walked out on him when he played the violin. We laughed together, we played together, we worked together, we ate together. I suppose that for many of those years we talked every single day.” Alan Loy McGinnis, The Friendship Factor
