Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.
-Euripides
True friends will stand beside you as you struggle through pain. True friends will be there to rest against when you are exhausted, to tell you they love you when you are distraught, and to listen to you (even if you have nothing to say) without judgment or criticism.
Hold fast to these friends. They are golden.
