Power and Wealth are fruits of life;
But Family and Friends are roots of life!
We can manage without the fruits;
But can never stand without the roots!
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal, that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.
