The proper office of a friend is to side with you when
you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in
the right.

When we think of friends, and call their faces out of
the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors
of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we
content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy--that
it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with
the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.
- Letter to Mary Mason Fairbanks, February 27 and 28, 1869

The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady
and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime,
if not asked to lend money.
