Quotes of the Day for 25 November 2003 - Friendship

In celebration of those blessings for which we give thanks, I am choosing one for each day of this week. We started with Wisdom, then Service. Tomorrow will be Home, Thursday, inevitably, will be Abundance. I'll follow that with Peace, and finally Love. Today's theme is Friendship. I am thankful for a few friends that have stuck with my for decades, many who are recent additions, and all of you who I know only through this daily sharing of quotes.
