Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
Love is a friendship set to music.
Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.
Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.
'As I am, so are they; as they are, so am I.' Comparing others with oneself, do not kill nor cause others to kill.
