We don’t want arguments from our friends; we want sympathies, sensibilities, emotional bonds. The right persons silence is worth more for companionship than the wisest talk in the world from anybody else. It is not your mind that is needed here or what you know; it is your heart and what you feel. You see the warm-blooded side of things that is what is really valuable. That is how you can help.

Love may laugh at locksmiths, but it knows better than to fool with a dog.
The present; the present is all thou hast;
For thy sure possessing;
Like the patriarchs angel, hold-it fast-
Till it gives its blessing – J.S. Whittier

When you see a man in woe,
Walk right-up and say “Hullo!”
Say “Hullo” an “How dýa do?”
“How’s the world amusing you”
Slap the fellow on the back,
Bring your hand down with a whack;
Walk right-up and don’t go slow,
Grin and shake an’say “Hullo”!

Be useful if you would be respected.
Why is Sunday the strongest day? Because all the others are week-days.

    In the "Hullo" poem amusing might actually be a using, I'm not sure because both make sense.
