At times the best thing you can do for someone is to refuse to help them.

You can care about someone’s health, future, and/or safety more than they do, or even though they don’t, but you cannot love them more than they love themselves.

It is a sign of spiritual maturity to care about people, but not about how they are doing.

In some cases, it is not the person that has changed, but their decision not to be themselves.

It is often a result of growth not to be known by someone who once knew you.

People who hate solitude have very low standards when it comes to the company they keep.

All too often someone spoils my enjoyment of their company by talking to me.

Most people would rather be boring than be bored.

Among other things, friendship is a mutual fight against solitude and boredom.
