Very few modern people think Friendship a love of comparable value or even a love at all.

Never, in peace or war, commit your virtue or your happiness to the future.

The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

Need-love says of a woman "I cannot live without her"; Gift-love longs to give her happiness, comfort, protection - if possible, wealth; Appreciative love gazes and holds its breath and is silent, rejoices that such a wonder should exist even if not for him, will not be wholly dejected by losing her, would rather have it so than never to have seen her at all.
