Now I assert that the most precious of all this world’s blessing is
true friendship, which must be accounted not a worldly good but a heavenly blessing; for it is not false fate that produces it, but God, who creates natural friends in kinsmen. For every other thing in this world man desireth either because it will help him to power, or to get some pleasure, save only a true friend; him we love for love’s sake and for our trust in him, though we can hope for no other return from him.
