A friend is a second self.
Every friend is as good and wise for his friend
between them everything turns to good. Everyone
is as others wish him well, he must win their hearts
and so their tongues. There is no magic like a good
turn and the way to gain friendly feelings
is to do friendly acts.The most and best of us depend
on others we have to live either among
friends or among enemies. So seek someone everyday
who will wish you well-if not a friend, by and by after
trials some of these will become your confidants.

Let friendly intercourse be a school of knowledge
and let culture be taught through conversation.
Thus you make your friends your teachers
and mingle the pleasures of conversation with the
advantages of instruction. Sensible people enjoy
alternating pleasures: you are rewarded with applause
for what you say and you gain instruction
from what you hear. We are always attracted
to others by our own interest, but in this case
it is of a higher kind. Wise people frequent
the houses of great nobility as theatres of heroism
not temples of vanity. They are renowned
for their wordly wisdom, not only for being oracles
of all nobleness by their example and their
behavior, but because those who surround them form a
courtly academy of worldy wisdom of the
best and noblest kind.
