I will give into her keeping also the making of the race, and
thus the control of the destiny of the world. And so this woman shall
be given delicate bones and a deft touch and voice of music and eye of
peace and heart of tenderness and mind of beautiful wisdom."
Does this comparison not make it clear that woman has by far a more
exalted mission than man? But the mission of both man and woman is
sufficiently grand and noble if each performs it, and within its
limitations is content.
Have plenty of friends. Cultivate them. You cultivate your business.
You cultivate vegetables. But friends are more precious than either
business or vegetables. Cultivate friends, therefore. Call on them and
let them call on you. And do it in the good old-fashioned, hearty,
American way.
But be sure you make your friends for the sake of the relation itself.
Do not misuse that sacred relation for your personal advantage. Do not
make friends for the purposes of success. Make friends for the
purposes of friendship. Be true to them, therefore. Don't neglect them
when they can no longer serve you. And serve you them. And let your
service to your friends be a glad service, a service which is its own
reward.
