When we think of friends, and call their faces
out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along
the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love
to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not
a Fancy--that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve
away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them. - Letter to Mary Mason Fairbanks The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the
wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right. |
The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring
a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.
