“A friendship that like love is warm;
A love like friendship, steady.”

“One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.”

“There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.”

“Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree.”

“In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.”

“Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.”
