Friendship is communion. [ Aristotle ]

To him who in the love of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. [ Bryant ]

Keep the imagination sane; that is one of the truest conditions of communion with heaven. [ Hawthorne ]

There is a healthful hardiness about real dignity that never dreads contact and communion with others, however humble. [ Washington Irving ]

Each thing lives according to its kind; the heart by love, the intellect by truth, the higher nature of man by intimate communion with God. [ Chapin ]

Sympathy wanting, all is wanting; its personal magnetism is the conductor of the sacred spark that lights our atoms, puts us in human communion, and gives us to company, conversation, and ourselves. [ A. B. Alcott ]
