It is great to have friends when one is young,
but indeed it is still more so when you are
getting old. When we are young friends are,
like everything else, a matter of course.
In the old days we know what it means to have them.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
You shall begin it serenely and
with too high a spirit to be encumbered
with your old nonsense.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

While attending a marriage seminar on communication,
Jim and his wife listened to the instructor declare:
"It is essential that husbands and wives know the
things that are important to each other."
He addressed the men:
"For instance, gentlemen, can you name your wife's
favorite flower?"
Jim leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and
whispered, "Pillsbury All-Purpose, isn't it?"
The rest of the story is not pleasant.
The end.
