There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.

These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
A man would have no pleasures in discovering all the beauties of the universe, even in heaven itself, unless he had a partner to whom he might communicate his joys.
