There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick him from your dreams and hug him for real.When times become difficult and you know they sometimes will,remember a moment in your life that was filled with the joy of friendship.Remember how your friends made you feel,and you will have to strength your need to get through any difficulty.A good companion is better than a fortune,for a fortune cannot purchase those elements of character which make companionship more than a fortune.The best companion is one who is wiser and better than ourselves,for we are inspired by his wisdom and virtue to nobler deeds.Greater wisdom and goodness than we possess lifts us higher mentally and morally.
