friar, one of the four Recollects who were the first Catholic missionaries to northern New France
, present day Canada
. Dolbeau-Mistassini
in Quebec is named for him.
Jean Dolbeau entered the order at the age of nineteen at Balmette, near Angers
. He landed at Quebec
in May, 1615, and celebrated the first Mass ever said there. He became commissionary provincial of the mission in 1618 and preached the first jubilee accorded to Canada.
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
A friendship that can be ended didn't ever start.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
It is amazing how you can surround yourself with so many people you can call friends, and yet actually only have one or two real ones.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter;he who finds one finds a treasure.A faithful friend is beyond price,no sum can balance his worth.
Friendship is not for merriment but for stern reproach when friends go astray.
