Quote by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feel

Summary

This quote highlights the essence of true friendship as a source of comfort. It emphasizes the safety and security that comes from being with someone with whom you can be completely genuine and transparent. In a genuine friendship, there is no need to overthink or filter one's thoughts and words. Instead, everything can be shared freely, without fear of judgment. It beautifully captures the understanding that a loyal friend will always accept and support you, separating the valuable aspects from the insignificant ones, and offering solace by providing perspective and reassurance.

It's a sad indication of where Washington has come, where policy differences almost necessarily become questions of integrity. I came to Washington in the late '70s, and people had the ability in the past to have intense policy differences but didn't feel the need to question the other person's character.

In God's scheme what is a few billion years here and there. Perhaps there have come and gone a dozen human civilizations in the past billion years that we know nothing about. And after this civilization we are living in destroys itself, it will all start up again in a million years when the planet has all its messes cleaned up. Then, finally, one of these civilizations, say five billion years from now, will last because people treat each other the way they ought to.
