J.R.R. Tolkien: "To the end he had been faithful, and one of the strongest."

Before befriending others, you have to be your own best friend. Before correcting others, you have to correct yourself. Before making others happy, you have to make yourself happy. It is not termed as selfish but personal development. Once you balance yourself, only then can you balance the world.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

You deserve friendships that go both ways.
