Thiis was published without credit in The Best Loved Poems of the American People (1936) with the title "Friendship", and since that time has sometimes been misattributed http://www.geonius.com/eliot/quotes.html to Eliot; it is actually an adaptation of lines by Dinah Craik, in A Life for a Life (1859): <br class="br">Misattributed <br class="br">Context: Oh, the comfort —<br>the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person —<br>having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,<br>but pouring them all right out,<br>just as they are,<br>chaff and grain together;<br>certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,<br>keep what is worth keeping,<br>and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

Message regarding unacceptable behaviour (2013)
Context: Every one of us is responsible for the culture and reputation of our army and the environment in which we work. If you become aware of any individual degrading another, then show moral courage and take a stand against it. No one has ever explained to me how the exploitation or degradation of others, enhances capability, or honours the traditions of the Australian Army.
“It takes no courage to be an optimist, but it takes a great deal of courage to have hope.”
John C. Maxwell (1947) American author, speaker and pastor
