Quotes about Nurture

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant.

or just think it's going to get on by itself.
You've got to keep watering it.
You've got to really look after it and nurture it.

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.
We then have to nurture and grow those friendships over our middle age
when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley
