"What are friends for? They are there to remind each and every one of us of the imperfections which surround us, of the vagaries of human nature, the unpleasantness of which man is capable, the meanness, the narrowness, the hypocrisy of society, and they also teach us to forgive but never forget. We should be lost without friendship" - Peter Ustinov.
I add, "Friends also remind us of the innate goodness of Man and the eventual success of those who persist and believe in themselves".
