As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, does the heart find its morning and is refreshed.
