However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.

Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

Friendship is Love without his wings!

Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is the best ending for one.
