So help me

From: ZT

"- I gathered from it that you have a great love for the truth, and that it alone is the aim of all your efforts. Since I too aim at nothing else, this made me decide not only to grant your request, as well as I can, by answering the questions you have sent me or will send me in the future, but also to do everything I can to further a closer acquaintance and a sincere friendship between us. Of all things beyond our power, there is nothing in the world we can love with tranquility except such people. For the love such people feel for one another is founded on the love each one has for the truth, and it is as impossible to disturb it as it is not to embrace the truth once it has been perceived. Moreover, it is the greatest and most satisfying source of happiness that we can find among things beyond our power, since nothing but the truth can unite different opinions and temperaments."
