Friendship is the union of spirits, a marriage of hearts, and the bond thereof virtue

It is wise not to seek a secret, and honest not to reveal one.

It would go a long way to caution and direct people in their use of the world that they would better studied and known in the creation of it. For how could man find the confidence to abuse it, while they should see the Great Creator stare them in the face, in all and every part thereof?
