A British publication once offered a prize for the best definition of a friend. Among the thousands of answers received were the following: ? "One who multiplies joys, divides grief, and whose honesty is inviolable." ? "One who understands our silence." ? "A volume of sympathy bound in cloth." ? "A watch that beats true for all time and never runs down." The winning definition read: "A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out."
