Antonin SertillangesFriendship is an obstetric art; it draws out our richest and deepest resources; it unfolds the wings of our dreams and hidden indeterminate thoughts; it serves as a check on our judgements, tries out our new ideas, keeps up our ardor, and inflames our enthusiasm.
About This Quote
Friendship is an obstetric art; it draws out our richest and deepest resources; it unfolds the wings of our dreams and hidden indeterminate thoughts; it serves as a check on our judgements, tries out our new ideas, keeps up our ardor, and inflames our enthusiasm. Friendship is the most powerful relationship in life. It provides safety, security, understanding, compassion and safety. Friends can help you when you are in need of help and they can help you when you help them. Friends help each other to grow and survive in life and to reach their full potentials.
