To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind

He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies.

True friendship is self-love at secondhand

الصداقة : جسمان وعقل واحد
الحب : قلبان وجسم واحد

We can easily be depleted from life and if we are truly lucky, we have that one friend who can replenish our love and peace. In our moment of revival, we can use that surrogate strength to create more... May we continue to make more.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.
