Love begins with love; and there is no passing from firm friendship to
even feeble love.

--_La Bruyere_.

Live not without a friend; the Alpine rock must own
Its mossy grace or else be nothing but a stone.

--_Story_.

Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin
its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand
years.

--_Emerson_.

* * * * *

Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold,
Brow may wrinkle, hair grows grey:
True friendship never knows decay.
