<p>&quot;A friend loves at all times.&quot; Proverbs 17:17<br />
<br />
You cannot force a half-hearted friendship into life. <br />
Where there is incongruity of character, feeling, and <br />
ways, let it simply lapse into acquaintanceship; and <br />
if even this be an effort, let it, without either violence <br />
or discourtesy, die a natural death. <br />
<br />
<strong>True, genuine friendship</strong> must not only be spontaneous, <br />
but, to be lasting, it must be based on congeniality of <br />
tastes, pursuits, interests, as well as on affection.<strong><br />
  <br />
  </strong>&quot;There is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother.&quot; <br />
Proverbs 18:24<strong>
