"Friends—those relations that one makes for one's self."
Deschamps.
"Some one asked Kingsley what was the secret of his strong joyous life; and he answered, 'I had a friend.'"

Lowell.
"The best wish for us all is, that when we grow old, as we must do, the fast friends of our age may be those we have loved in our youth."
Mason.
AUGUST 24
"Jealousy is a terrible thing. It resembles love, only it is precisely love's contrary. Instead of wishing for the welfare of the object loved, it desires the dependence of that object upon itself, and its own triumph. Love is the forgetfulness of self; jealousy is the most passionate form of egotism, the glorification of a despotic, exacting, and vain ego, which can neither forget nor subordinate itself. The contrast is perfect."
