There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends. There is nothing worse for mortals than a wandering life. Tis hard to find a man of great estate, that can distinguish flatterers from friends. To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it. True friends appear less moved than counterfeit. Two friends, two bodies with on soul inspired. Wise to resolve, and patient to perform. Nothing shall I, while sane, compare with a friend. |
