Excerpt from The Wealth of Friendship: With a Homily on Friendship All friendship, like all life, has its growth between these realms. It spreads its arms and shoots forth its leaves in that air which is the interfiow of what is and what ought to be - the real and the idea]. It cannot separate itself from either. If my supposed friend imagines that he can cut loose from the world and human life as it is, and befriend me by dwelling altogether in what ought to be, he deceives him self, and I find him to be but the ghost of afriend. Absolute truthfulness to the fact that as matters really are, I have a body and its needs, temptations and desires that fasten themselves on the earth; that, being on the earth, I must have to do with citizen ship, politics, trade, marriage, home, and the reform of this world - this is the somber fact that marks the place where our friend ship must root itself. On the other hand, absolute truthfulness to the fact that as matters ideally ought to be, I am a soul able to climb up to God; full of potencies which it will take an eternity to unfold; that, being heaven-des tined, I have to do with beauty, divinity, ideality, and the atmosphere of pure spirit, - this is the luminous fact that marks the place where our friendship must pierce the soil of the limited and bounded, thence to rise unto its own fruitage in the limitless and the free. I grant that this latter realm must be the circumambient air in which the solid and prosaic earth, on which our friend ship roots itself, must roll. The ought to be must always be the boundless at mosphere of what is; and he who is thus true - to fasten with his thought my thought, to unite with his feeling my feel ing, to join with his will my will, unto these realms, the real and the ideal, is my friend.

Book Description
A late-life serendipity for me is how lavishly I have been blessed by the wealth of an otherwise common commodity: extraordinary friends. They have sustained, counseled, encouraged, and advised us. We have also laughed and cried together. This small volume wants to give tribute to them and simultaneously explicate the things that contribute to the treasury of true friendship. One might aver that our friends are way better than we deserved (true!) or that the Lord has provided us with an exquisite collection of friends. If so, they may be emulated as peak performers. Or if they are par, then we all should attempt to have and keep friends like this. Each of the friends below are archetypes-they are larger than life in some ways. I have sought to provide brief summaries at the end of each chapter in terms of honest memories of the best of times, followed by a summary of exemplary traits. These admirable friends who mean so much to me have taught me what friendship is like. I hope our friendships depicted in this brief memoir of thanks will help you appreciate (or write about) your own.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wealth of Friendship All such words, taken like these - one from the real, the other from the ideal - will illustrate the fact that friendship worthy the name is founded on truth. If, as one poet sings, a friendship be streaked with colors of the ideal, it must be a true ideal, lest the friendship become a beautiful dream, which, however, ends in nightmare. Such an ideal there must be, else friendship can not be true. For with all the roots that every friendship has in the real world and with all the demands which every friend ship makes on the soil of practical life inwhich it is rooted, it is a sad lie if some where it blooms not.
