“This friendship and this bond that we share is, to us, the No. 1 priority.”

“The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when.”

“Confidence is the only bond of friendship.”

“Friendship is a very simple bond: it is true, loyal and concrete.”

“Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.”

“That's what friendship is, sharing the prejudice of experience.”

“to one of which I am attached by bonds of friendship, to other by ties of common origin”

“We are not mere friends, but more than two brothers. We met more than 50 years ago and we share a very beautiful bond between us. We worked together for films and immensely popular discs like Call of the Valley.”

“The priority is not to expand the Church. The priority is not to be more, to have more baptisms or religious weddings. The priority is to build a world of brothers and sisters with those who share our faith or have a different faith, and with those who have no faith.”

“Friendship is the next Pleasure we may hope for: And where we find it not at home, or have no home to find it in, we may seek it abroad. It is an Union of Spirits, a Marriage of Hearts, and the Bond thereof Vertue.”
