Friends come and friends go,
         but a true friend sticks by you like family.

Proverbs 18:24 (The Message)

:: Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 ::

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under  heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to  heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A  time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to  dance; A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones  together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to  throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep  silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
