More In Friendship "Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light."― Helen Keller "Nature abhors annihilation."― Marcus Tullius Cicero "President Kennedy was willing to go to war. He was not a coward. The man had been in war and so had Ken O’Donnell. He was ready to protect this nation, but he was not ready for a military solution just because it was being rammed down his throat."― Kevin Costner
