FRIENDSHIP.

FRIENDSHIP.

1. Even in thought be thou loyal to thy friend. He who doubts his friend is a traitor at heart.

2. Be careful in forming thy friendships, as of a matter profoundly influencing thy whole life.

3. To be estranged from the friend of my soul,—that were strange indeed!

4. Hath thy friend a grief? Thou mayest help him to bear it.

5. Nor time, nor space, nor prison- bars can part my soul from the friend I love.

6. In vain strivings after the unattainable we trample under our feet the purer jewels of friendship and love.

7. Both deep and sweet is the water in friendship's well; he who drinketh thereof is refreshed by the way.
