① Sleep is better than medicine.(Proverb)
Good health relies more on a good night’s sleep than on medicine.
② A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you’re fast sleep.(Disney World advertisement) A dream reflects what you really feel in your subconscious world.
③. A light supper, a good night’s sleep, and a fine morning have often made a hero of the same man who, by indigestion, a restless night, and a rainy morning, would have proved a coward.(Lord Chesterfield 1694-1773, British Statesman, Author) When one refrains from having a big supper, enjoys a good night’s sleep, and wakes up to a beautiful morning, he/she will feel like a hero. But if the same person eats too much in the evening, not sleeping well throughout the night, and wakes up to rainy morning, he/she may suffer from a lack of confidence.

1. Friendship does not rely on judgment. You may feel the goodness in a friend, but the goodness
was acknowledged after you had made friends with him.

qualities, you are far from getting true friendship just as you can hardly build up true friendship if you are after friendship out of the motivation of gaining profits.
3. So if one knows what friendship really means, he would never put an end to it only because
his friend happens to be lacking respectability in character.
4. We should remain humble before friendship and love because we are granted this free gift. We
should feel ashamed rather than pleased and happy when we are no longer humble because friendship and love are gone.
5. Our judgments and penalties have to be part of our life as we pay men and dress them in the
court suit and let them be the judges to make judgments on other men.
