Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real. There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief. A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words. Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget. Memory is the mother of all wisdom. Keep memories of insult on a short leash, and memories of blessing on a long one. Remember, some of the best times of your life haven't even happened yet. If you know how quickly people forget the dead, you will stop living to impress people. Choose your words wisely. Words can be forgiven, but the impact they have may not be forgotten.
