The functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.
Nothing of real worth can ever be bought. Love, friendship, honour, valour, respect. All these things have to be earned.
Next to love friendship, in my opinion, is the most valuable thing life has to offer.
Love demands all, and has a right to all.
Friendship, love, and piety ought to be handled with a sort of mysterious secrecy; they ought to be spoken of only in the rare moments of perfect confidence, to be mutually understood in silence. Many things are too delicate to be thought; many more, to be spoken.
Love, friendship, laughter... Some of the best things in life really are free.
But love me for love's sake, that evermore Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.
No human being can ever 'own' another, whether in friendship, love, marriage, or parenthood.
No human being can ever "own" another, whether in friendship, love, marriage or parenthood. Many human relationships have been ruined and happiness far too often changed to misery by a failure to understand this.
Without constancy there is neither love, friendship, nor virtue in the world.
Make yourself necessary to somebody.
What is there in the vale of lifeHalf so delightful as a wife;When friendship, love and peace combineTo stamp the marriage-bond divine?
There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures.
