Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.

Oh my son's my son till he gets him a wife, but my daughter's my daughter all her life.

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.
