Communication

“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing… that is a friend who cares.”
 
― Henri Nouwen

Courage

“To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles.”

― Nelson Mandela
