“How were friendship possible? In mutual devotedness to the good and true; otherwise impossible, except as armed neutrality or hollow commercial league. A man, be the heavens ever praised, is sufficient for himself; yet were ten men, united in love, capable of being and of doing what ten thousand singly would fail in. Infinite is the help man can yield to man.” MenHelpingHeavenFriendshipUnitedImpossibleFailingThousandTenCapableInfiniteLeagueSufficientMutualYieldHollowNeutralityMan United Book:Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdröckh in Three Books Source: Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdröckh in Three Books
“Such is friendship, that through it we love places and seasons; for as bright bodies emit rays to a distance, and flowers drop their sweet leaves on the ground around them, so friends impart favor even to the places where they dwell. With friends even poverty is pleasant. Words cannot express the joy which a friend imparts; they only can know who have experienced. A friend is dearer than the light of heaven, for it would be better for us that the sun were exhausted than that we should be without friends.” KnowsShouldBodyLightWould BeJoyHeavenFriendshipPovertySunSweetFlowerSeasonsDistanceFavorsPleasantRaysExhaustedImpartWithout Friends Author:Saint John Chrysostom
