The Book of Beginnings

by Sally Page

when you feel most in need of new friends, is often the time when you feel least capable of making them.

I was reading more about William Foyle. When he’d become rich and successful, people would write him begging letters. He knew that some people would be trying it on, but he replied to them all, including money in the envelopes. When people told him he was a fool, he asked, how would he know he was reaching the people in real need if he didn’t help them all?’

‘So neither a dogsbody or a godsbody,’

‘George Eliot once wrote these words: “It is never too late to be what you might have been.”’

‘Sometimes we try to hold on to friendships when really they were there for that particular part of our lives.’

Sometimes a heartbeat is all the time it takes to reach a decision.
