<blockquote><p><span id="en-NKJV-16926" class="text Prov-18-24"><sup class="versenum"> </sup>A man <i>who has</i> friends must himself be friendly,</span><br />
<span class="text Prov-18-24">But there is a friend <i>who</i> sticks closer than a brother. &#8211; <span class="passage-display-bcv">Proverbs 18:24 &#8211; </span><span class="passage-display-version">NKJV</span></span></p></blockquote>
<p>“You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin – to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours – closer than you yourself keep it. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo. Anyway: there it is. We know most of what Gandalf has told you. We know a good deal about the ring. We are horribly afraid–but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, <i>The Fellowship of the Ring</i></p>
<p><strong>Do you have friends like this?</strong>  I know to quote <em>Lord of the Rings</em> is kind of nerdy but I love the idea of friendship that sticks closer than a brother.</p>
