Love is a blazing, crackling, green-wood flame, as much smoke as flame; friendship, married friendship particularly, is a steady,intense, comfortable fire. Love, in courtship, is friendship in hope; in matrimony, friendship upon proof.

Distresses, however heavy at the time, appear light, and even joyous, to the reflecting mind, when worthily overcome.
