"Friendship needs no words – it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness." ― Dag Hammarskjold Topic(s): Friendship More From Dag Hammarskjold "Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away." "The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body’s total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?" "Time always seems long to the child who is waiting – for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day." More In Friendship "The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing… that is a friend who cares."― Henri Nouwen "It is the superfluous things for which men sweat, – superfluous things that wear our togas theadbare, that force us to grow old in camp, that dash us upon foreign shores."― Lucius Annaeus Seneca "One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention."― Clifton Paul Fadiman
