A Friend Is A Present You Give Yourself

“A friend is a present you give yourself.” What an ironic fortune cookie to receive tonight with my Chinese takeout — just as I edit a recent post on friending for my next MediaPost column. (It appears that quote originally is from Robert Louis Stevenson.)

    I suppose it means that if you make the effort to befriend someone, you're actually rewarding yourself through the joy and benefits of a friend.
