But
friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and
thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
It is of practical value to learn to like yourself.
Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some
satisfaction out of the relationship.
Have
courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when
you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.
