On friendship
Friendship is one of the greatest pleasure that people can enjoy. It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection and readiness to help. Real friends are those who can share all our sorrows and double all our joys. No man makes most of his life, either in business or in society, without carefully and conscientiously strivingto win the right kind of friends as he goes along.
True friends cherish the ideals and feelings with you; they will not desert you when you are in hot waters; they will not flatter or take advantage of you when you have won victory; and they will advice you sincerely when you are led astray.
We should choose those as our friends who have good character, superior ability and kindliness of heart. Well treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not to interfere unreasonably with them, or not ridicule their proceedings. We should forgive their mistakes and try to help them as much as possible. If we try to do these things, well retain our friends and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.
