Excerpt from Temper and Temperament, Vol. 1: Or Varieties of Character

Nothing is more various, or more difficult to explain, than the origin of intimacies, both those which grow into friendship, and those which kindle into love. Similarity Of taste or of Opinion may perhaps be adduced as the most general foundation of the one, and personal liking of the other. Temper and temperament are amongst the last things taken into consideration in both, except so far as an irritable temper may spoil the harmony of a social evening, or a mild one impart softness to an attractive face.
