“You have no need for sometimes friends or maybe friends of halfway friends in this life time. It's too short for that. You don't want fair-weather friends because it's easy to enjoy the company of just about anyone in the sunshine. You need people who are going to sit with you in the rain. Friends who are only around when the circumstances are right are of no use to you. Because it's when everything is going completely wrong that you really need your friends. Surround yourself with those who truly recognize your worth and are there to remind you of your greatness when you sometimes forget it yourself. Most importantly, don't forget that being part of your life is a privilege. Don't grant that to anyone who doesn't appreciate it.”
