There Are Gems Of Thought That Are

Friendship Is Infinitely Better Than Kindness.

As I Give Thought To The Matter, I Find Four Causes For The Apparent Misery Of Old Age; First, It Withdraws Us From Active Accomplishments; Second, It Renders The Body Less Powerful; Third, It Deprives Us Of Almost All Forms Of Enjoyment; Fourth, It Stands Not Far From Death.

That Is Probable Which For The Most Part Usually Comes To Pass, Or Which Is A Part Of The Ordinary Beliefs Of Mankind.

To Give And Receive Advice - The Former With Freedom, And Yet Without Bitterness, The Latter With Patience And Without Irritation - Is Peculiarly Appropriate To Geniune Friendship.

Sed Nescio Quo Modo Nihil Tam Absurde Dici Potest Quod Non Dicatur Ab Aliquo Philosphorum. (there Is Nothing So Absurd But Some Philosopher Has Said It.)
