       Without a friend the world is but a wilderness; A man may have a thousand intimate acquaintances and not a friend amongst them all; If you have one friend, think yourself happy - When once you profess yourself a friend endeavor to Be always such, he can never have any true friends; that will be often changing them; Prosperity gains friends, and adversity tries them a handsome address; and graceful conversation complaisance renders a superior amiable, and coequal agreeable, and an inferior acceptable. Excess of ceremony shows want of Breeding. That civility is best, which excludes all superfluous Formality. Ingratitude is a crime so shameful, that the Man was never yet found, who acknowledges himself guilty of it. Truth is born with us, and we must do violence to nature, to shake off our vivacity. There cannot be a greater treachery, than first to raise as a confidence, and then deceive it. By other's faults, wise men correct their own adversity. [Poynoman?] hath a thorough taste of prosperity, to whom adversity never happened when. Elvira A. Alexander.
