Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 252, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 October 1915 — Friendship. [ARTICLE]

Friendship.

To have ft memory for benefits, not for offensive —these are the two pilots on which friendship may rest strong and abiding, friendships which pass to the greatness of noble minds. Be not like those who are more hurt and offended by an unkind word or by a word meant in fun, and which escaped, as it were, from a cloister, unlocked for a moment by the tongue —yea, more hurt than ever were pleased and comforted by a thousand renewed proofs of loving friendship. —Petrarch.
