A relationship is like any other structure - much more stable on three wheels than two.

Honesty with another springs from the ability to be honest with yourself.

One of St. Ignatius' lesser known sayings, "Speak little, listen much."

In the Exercises St. Ignatius reminds us to be grateful for all gifts received. Gratitude in friendship echoes this important concept.
