Base yourself in loyalty and trust. Don't be a companion with those who are not your moral equal.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

Everybody's concept of having a friend is different. It can definitely blur the relationships that exist between people. But in the end, I think that Facebook can only reinforce preexisting communities.

Our faith in others betrays that we would rather have faith in ourselves. Our longing for a friend is our betrayer. And often with our love we want merely to overcome envy. And often we attack and make ourselves enemies, to conceal that we are vulnerable.

A heart full of love and compassion is the main source of inner strength, willpower, happiness, and mental tranquility.

As human beings, we each have a responsibility to care for humanity. Expressing concern for others brings inner strength and deep satisfaction. As social animals, human beings need friendship. But friendship doesn't come from wealth and power. It comes from showing compassion and concern for others.
