Friendship
If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.

Lawana BlackwellDon't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant things from his enemies; they are ready enough to tell them.
Oliver Wendell HolmesIt's a lot like nature. You only have as many animals as the ecosystem can support and you only have as many friends as you can tolerate the bitching of.

Dame Edna EverageGHANA – ACCRA – MY HAWA B. ALHAMED
One day, I will go to say to it,
That it’s heart is noble,
It’s like a wonderful flower,
I know, that in the distance she is not infinite,
The West African coast. It’s Hawa!
Ghana, the strong central office of Africa,
That takes your wonderful name,
Everything, everything is culture,
It’s Mother Africa
Goddess that made man, made nature,
It is good for the sharing of friendship,
That you lead in your thoughts,
With sincerity and so many praises,
You are the queen of this poem of mine.
Enchanted by your words,
Hawa! A pretty and intelligent woman.
Ghana! Ghana is a country in Western Africa,
The country where my friend inhabits,
She was born in the region of Ashanti,
With its beauty and majestically, it is Hawa,
It traces in the eyes, the lights of love,
With harmony and peace in heart,
Spreading love around the world.
In the Accra capital, thus Hawa lives,
Here is the gift from a Brazilian poet,
Marking all the times,
The biggest symbol of our friendship,
Pictured in the letters of its poet.
