Another quote for this National Friendship Month, crammed into an inappropriate border design that I've done sometime in my 18 years of freelancing.
For some reason, it tickles me to put a sardonic Churchill quote next to love-eyed li'l animals.
I have to say that I do not necessarily agree with old Winston here. While I DO think that through life, you'll naturally tend to make friends with others who are groovin' on the same things that you are at a particular moment in time, I think that there are friendships that can buck that trend.
There will be friends that you seemingly share nothing in common, and yet: those differences are interesting, and you learn about things/subjects that you'd never know about if left to your own devices.
The reason that you continue to be friends is because, well, you just LIKE each other, and enjoy each other's company. Simple as that.
Agree? Disagree? Your thoughts welcomed.
And the World War II Expert comes through again!
In light of this, I'm kinda surprised he didn't use the term "allies"...
And the cat saw what they did to Mussolini, so he's on his best behavior...

I think Mr. Churchill was referring to the relations between nations, especially in times of war. I'm just glad the cat hasn't devoured the newly hatched chick.

I've had, within say the last five years or so, a couple of multi-decade friendships come to an end. I discovered that, if you're only calling yourselves 'friends', and the actions don't match up, then what you're doing is changing the true meaning of friendship, and not for the better.

Yes. There are also the friendships you keep just because you enjoy saying, "We've been friends for 23 years!" Well, maybe that's just me. :0D
