“Friendship is nothing else than entire fellow feeling as to all things human and divine with mutual good-will and affection; and I doubt whether anything better than this, wisdom alone excepted, has been given to man.”
“We should measure affection, not like youngsters by the ardor of its passion, but by its strength and constancy.”
“It is not easy to distinguish between true and false affection, unless there occur one of those crises in which, as gold is tried by fire, so a faithful friendship may be tested by danger.”
“If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.”
“We must be ever on the search for some persons whom we shall love and who will love us in return. If good will and affection are taken away, every joy is taken from life.”
“The chief recommendation is modesty, then dutiful conduct toward parents, then affection for kindred.”
“Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.”
