A FRIEND IS A PERSON...
  Who will help you in the hour of sickness;
  Who will lend you a dollar without deducting the interest;
  Who will help you uphill when you are sliding down;
  Who will defend you in the hour when others speak evil of you;
  Who will believe in your innocence until you admit your guilt;
  Who will say behind your back what he says to your face;
  Who will shake hands with you wherever he meets you, even though you
    wear patches; and
  Who will do all these things without expecting any return.
---Dorothy C. Retsloff
