Abutilon . Estimation 
Friendship is no plant of hasty growth, 
Tho’ planted in esteem’s deep-fixed sails, 
The gradual culture of kind intercourse 
Must bring it to perfection.

He most lives 
Who thinks most—feels the noblest—acts the best. 
Life’s but a means unto an end—that end, 
Beginning, mean, and end of all things—God.

Friendship, 
Small service is true service while if lasts • 
Protects the ling’ring dewdrop from the sun. 
)VORDSWORTH, 
Friendship above all ties, does bind the heart, 
And faith in friendship is the noblest part.
