Dinah Craik Quote

For truly, the greatest of all external blessings is it to be able to lean your heart against another heart, faithful, tender, true, and tried, and record with a thankfulness that years deepen instead of diminishing, "I have got a friend!"

A Woman's Thoughts about Women. By the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman," etc. [i.e. D. M. Mulock, afterwards Craik]. (ed. 1858)
