An year ago I had scribbled down these lines and couldn't know what they are about.
So just 'posted' on my face-book page as 'status'.
Today reminded by the
Face-book came to see this.
Sharing here, just for the joy of the same.

धर्मैव मनुष्याणां मित्रो शाश्वत्सनातनः ।
यतो धर्म ततो तोषं तस्माच्छान्तिरनंतरम् ॥

dharmaiva manuṣyāṇāṃ mitro śāśvatsanātanaḥ |
yato dharma tato toṣaṃ tasmācchāntiranaṃtaram ||

1. 'dharma' (one of the 4 purusharth that takes one to the Supreme goal and meaning of life, namely, dharma, artha, kAma and mokSha) that is discrimination between the lasting and the temporary nature of things and following that stays for ever, is the only true friend of humans that keeps company always. When one sticks to 'dharma' one finds satisfaction and solace, and then ultimately the peace unending.
