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.

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.
