And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the
ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that your
should seek with him hours to kill? Seek with him always hours to live. For it
is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of
friendship, let there be laughter, and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew
of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
