nothing.
Then they came for the Social Democrats, but I was not a Social Democrat, so I
did nothing.
Then came the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist.
And then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did little.
Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me."

"....Of all the gifts friends give us, it is often simply a few words of
encouragement that we value the most. Our closest friends have X-ray

Their belief in us gives us the courage to venture into new territories.
When we suffer a setback their words help us heal and their faith in us restores
our faith in ourselves"
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they
