Diligence is a great teacher. A true friend should be like a privy, open in necessity. A tree never hits an automobile except in self defence. A stumble may prevent a fall. A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool the taste of wisdom. A single bag of money is stronger than two bags of truth. A mere friend will agree with you, but a real friend will argue. A lost friendship is an enemy won. A little with quiet is the only diet. A good friend is better than a near relation. |
