Zhang Chao 張潮
1690s · Qing China
With a learned friend it is like reading a rare book; with a friend of taste, like reading the poems and prose of a famous hand; with an upright friend, like reading the classics of the sages; with a funny friend, like reading a novel.
對淵博友，如讀異書；對風雅友，如讀名人詩文；對謹飭友，如讀聖賢經傳；對滑稽友，如閱傳奇小說。Dream Shadows (Youmengying)

c. AD 63 · Roman Empire
No good thing is pleasant to possess without someone to share it.
