Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles. What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?

If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?

It is easy to say how we love new friends, and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibers that knit us to the old.
