Necessity is the mother of delusion. For true love to exist there must be nothing that is necessary to it. Lovers have to live happily ever after, no matter what happens.
Be your friend’s true friend. Return gift for gift. Repay laughter with laughter again but betrayal with treachery.
A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably
To be ambitious of true honor, of the true glory and perfection of our natures, is the very principle and incentive of virtue.
