most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving
advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain
and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can
be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay
with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not
knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our
powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. — Henri Nouwen

A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may
think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real

dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put
off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with
which one chemical atom meets another. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
