All who consult on doubtful matters, should be void of hatred, friendship, anger, and pity.

Friendship is a difficult, dangerous job. It is also (though we rarely admit it) extremely exhausting.

I would like to raise my glass to friendship between Russia and the United States.

I really wasn't even aware that Batman and Superman had this kind of grudging friendship.

“What is love? two souls and one flesh; friendship? two bodies and one soul.”

“FRIENDSHIP IS THE PLACE OF HAPPINESS IN LIFE AND THE NECTAR ON THE SORROWS OF LIFE, EVEN ONE DROP IS ENOUGH.”

Why have you been my friend when I didn’t deserve friendship?” “Because friendship isn’t something anyone deserves…it’s just one of those blessings of life, you can’t earn…love has no price tag.

My first experiences of academic friendship made me smile in after years when I looked back on them. But my circle of acquaintances had gradually grown so large that it was only natural new friendships should grow out of it.

Shouldn't we at least be asking whether the transcending of venereal desire that marriage requires of a mostly or entirely 'heterosexual' man who marries for the sake of love, friendship, and raising a family isn't more or less the same as the transcendence required of a man whose venereal desire is 'oriented' mostly or entirely toward men but who restrains these drives, and who marries for the sake of love, friendship and raising a family? Of course, men with little venereal desire for women can't proceed towards marriage driven by such desire. For them, marriage must develop from friendship. But wouldn't it be better if all marriages developed from friendship?

“When all is said and done, friendship is the only trustworthy fabric of the affections. So-called love is a delirious inhuman state of mind: when hot it substitutes indulgence for fair play; when cold it is cruel, but friendship is warmth in cold, firm ground in a bog.”
