Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.
— GEORGE ELIOT
Be first to greet your fellow man. Invite him to your joyous occasions. Call him by complimentary names. Do not give away his secrets, help him when he is in trouble. Look after his interests when he is away. Overlook his shortcomings and forgive him promptly. Criticize him when has done wrong. Respect him always. Do not deceive him. Do not lie to him. Pray for him and wish him happiness.

His greatest mortal foe.
