Friendship is
one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed
beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a
friend.

useless while he has a friend.

So long as we
are loved by others I should say that we are almost
indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
1850-1895, Scottish Essayist,
Poet, Novelist
The very
flexibility and ease which make men's friendships so
agreeable while they endure, make them the easier to destroy
and forget. And a man who has a few friends, or one who has
a dozen (if there be any one so wealthy on this earth),
cannot forget on how precarious a base his happiness
reposes; and how by a stroke or two of fate --a death, a few
light words, a piece of stamped paper, a woman's bright eyes
--he may be left, in a month, destitute of all.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
1850-1895, Scottish Essayist,
Poet, Novelist
