Beauty of Friendship
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Emerson
The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed: there is no winter, and no night: all tragedies, all ennuis vanish; all duties even; nothing fills the preceding eternity but the forms all radiant of beloved persons.
Emerson
The only rose without thorns is friendship.
Mlle. de Scuderi
To the young friendship comes as the glory of spring, a very miracle of beauty, a mystery of birth: to the old it has the bloom of autumn, beautiful still, but with the beauty of decay.
