FRIENDSHIP/KINDNESS

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend."
                                    - Albert Camus (thanks to The Friendship Page)

"The human heart, at whatever age, opens only to the heart that opens in return"
                                                                        -Marie Edgeworth

"...but it was one of the little things which are always waiting to be done in this world of ours, where rainy days come so often, where spirits get out of tune, and duty won't go hand in hand with pleasure.  Little things of this sort are especially good work for little people:  a kind little thought, an unselfish little act, a cheery little word, are so sweet and comfortable, that no one can fail to feel the beauty and love of the giver, no matter how small they are.  Mothers do a deal of this sort of thing, unseen, unthanked, but felt and remembered long afterward, and never lost, for this is the simple magic that binds hearts together, and keeps home happy.
                            ~An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott

To have grown wise and kind is real success.
