Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought nor sold, but its value is far greater than the mountain made of gold; for gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear, and in time of trouble it is powerless to cheer.
Gold -- it has no ears to listen, no heart to understand; it cannot bring you comfort, or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if he sends not diamonds, pearls, nor riches, but the love of real, true friends.
