Njoki's Pearls: Friendship

Article  shared from  the writtings  of..

Njoki's Pearls:
I found this poem in one of my elder sister's files and absolutely fell in love with it. (Oh and my sister's a very talented writer. So be ..sure to check out her blog at:
wambuiwairua.wordpress.com )

Anyway, here's the poem. I hope you'll like it as much as I do.
It was written by one George Sand in 1862.....

Many people will walk in and out of your life
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
To handle yourself, use your head
To handle others, use your heart
Anger is only one letter short of Danger
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault
If someone betrays you twice, it is your fault
Great minds discuss ideas
Average minds discuss events
Small minds discuss people
He who loses money loses much
He who loses a friend loses much more
He who loses faith loses all
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature
But beautiful old people are works of art
Learn from the mistakes of others
You can't live long enough to make them all
Yourself, friends you and me
Like a circle of friends
Friendship has no beginning or end
Yesterday is history: tomorrow is mystery
Today is a gift
That's why it's called the present.

There is only one happiness in life.....
To love and
be loved by others....
