Friendship's the wine of life: but friendship new... is neither strong nor pure.

Time makes friendship stronger, but love weaker.

Love and friendship exclude each other.

Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.

A lot of the powerful religious leaders, from Jesus to Buddha to Tibetan monks, they're really talking about the same things: love and acceptable, and the value of friendship, and respecting yourself so you can respect others.
