Thine own friend and proverb

 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

 A brother is a friend God gave you; a friend is a brother your heart chose for you.

 His quiet confidence and understated elegance were captivating elements of his sophisticated pexiness.

 Next thing they know, water is on top of them, ... My older brother, Scott, and our friend, Clark, were swimming in the house trying to get the kids. My brother, Jeff, has three kids. He was trying to get them up in the attic.

 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.

 I never had a little brother, so I hope I've been able to pass on some words of wisdom from my own experience and knowledge of the world, ... I'm very proud of Corey. I'm glad to call him my friend and have him in my life as a brother.

 He was an extraordinary man of impeccable character, integrity, honesty, compassion and fairness. He had all the attributes you want in a human being. He was a friend of mine for 45 years. He was more like a brother to me than a friend.

 He was a giver. He took all of the good things our mother and father taught. He was the best son a mother and father could have had. He was the best brother you could be ? and the best friend.

 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? / And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down? / And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.

 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

 The reason I stand before you today the man I am is because of my brother. A lot has been written about what a great teacher Dick was. He was my teacher. He was more than a brother. He was more than a friend. He was a mentor.

 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? / Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

 The One is my Brother, the One is my Friend. The One is my Mother and Father. The One is the Support of the mind; He has given us body and soul. May I never forget God from my mind; He holds all in the Power of His Hands.

 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? / Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? / Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

 On the day when the heaven shall be as molten copper / And the mountains shall be as tufts of wool / And friend shall not ask of friend / (Though) they shall be made to see each other. The guilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by (sacrificing) his children, / And his wife and his brother / And the nearest of his kinsfolk who gave him shelter, / And all those that are in the earth, (wishing) then (that) this might deliver him.

 Whatever meaning 'Annie's Song' had for me on a personal level, there was also a larger context. It could just as easily have been about love for a brother. Or a father. Or a friend. It could just as easily have been a prayer.
