“Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.”

“For Aristotle, friendship in its highest form has a political or civic dimension. We love our friends not just because we like each other or are useful to each other, but because we share the same values and ideals for our society, and come together to advance those ideals.”

“The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover”

“Friendship is the purest love. It is the highest form of Love where nothing is asked for, no condition, where one simply enjoys giving.”

“Love without friendship is like a kite, aloft only when the winds are favorable. Friendship is what gives love its wings.”

“Like the sacramental use of water and bread and wine, friendship takes what's common in human experience and turns it into something holy.”
