For there is no man
that imparteth his joys to his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no
man that imparteth his griefs to his friend, but he grieveth the less.
--_Bacon_.

There is no better medicine for grief than the advice of a good and
honored friend. He who, in his sufferings, excites and tries to soothe
his mind by wine, though he may have pleasure for a moment, has a double
portion of pain afterwards.
--_Euripides_.

Time draweth wrinkles in a fair face, but addeth fresh colors to a fast
friend.
--_Lyle_.

The good man has the same relation to his friend as he has to himself.
--_Aristotle_.
* * * * *
There is in friendship something of all relations and something above
them all. It is the golden thread that ties the hearts of all the world.
--_Evelyn_.
* * * * *
To God be humble, and to thy friend be kind.
--_Dunbar_.
* * * * *
The perfection of loving-kindness is to efface ourselves so thoroughly
that those we benefit shall not think themselves inferior to him who
benefits them.
