Profession of Friendship
|
Let us, then, be what we are, and speak what we think, and in all things Keep ourselves loyal to truth, and the sacred professions of friendship. |
Longfellow
It is good discretion not to make too much of any man at first, because one cannot hold out that proportion.
Bacon
|
The man that hails you Tom or Jack, And proves by thumps upon your back How he esteems your merit, Is such a friend that one had need Be very much his friend indeed To pardon or to bear it. |
Cowper
