The best preservative to keep the mind on health is the faithful admonition of a friend.

Friendship redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in half

Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparteth his joys to his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparteth his grieves to his friend, but he grieveth the less.

Poesy was ever thought to have some participation of divineness, because it doth raise and erect the mind by submitting the shews of things to the desires of the mind.

A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
