I like that! You can truly tell that a person is a true friend when he's there for you, when you need him the most. Do you have a best friend? Um, I like this quote: What you sow, you will reap. Have you heard of that?

Yes. I have a best friend. And the quote reminds me Carol King's "You've got a friend". The lyrics mean the same as the quote. I like this tune, too. I knew your quote. I thought it was about a sense of responsibility. But now I realize it means karma. Why do you like it?

I like it because it shows the relationship between the effort one puts into a project or a situation and the reward that comes from it. You can't expect good things to come your way if you do not make an effort to do good yourself. Do you have any other favorite quotes?

OK, Here is one more quart about friend, "Love your friend with his fault". This is a wisdom to go together with our friends for long term, you know. I hope my friends love me with my fault as well. I am an incurable optimist, am I?
