can't be driven away, no matter how hard you try. Some friendships won't
break.”

oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any
subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come

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.”
―

the most.”
