Faithful Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend; Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde; But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe; The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.” quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero — Download Open image
