Kahlil Gibran

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

Kahlil Gibran

Give me work to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble common sense. At the close of each day Give me a book And a friend with whom I can be silent.

S. M. Frazier

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

And though thou notest from thy safe recess old friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air love them for what they are; nor love them less, because to thee they are not what they were.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron
