FRIENDSHIP
Reading edition
"Friendship," said Uncle Eben, "don't mean no mo' to some folk dan a license to borrow money."
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals.—Goldsmith.
So long as we love we serve; So long as we are loved by others I would almost say that we are indispensable; And no man is useless while he has a friend.
He removes the greatest ornament of friendship who takes away from it respect.—Cicero.
Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go, They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all,— There are none to decline your nectar'd wine, But alone you must drink life's gall. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
