They will never live up to your expectations. 

Don't over-analyze your relationships. 

Stop playing games. 

A growing relationship can only 

be nurtured by genuineness.”

True friendship multiplies the good in life

and divides it's evils. 

Strive to have friends, 

for life without friends is like life on a desert island. 

To find one real friend in a lifetime 

is good fortune; 

to keep him is a blessing.

~ Baltasar Gracian ~

Everyone has the ability
