A friend to me has no race, no class and belongs to no minority. My friendships were formed out of affection, mutual respect and a feeling of having something strong in common. These are eternal values that cannot be racially classified. This is the way I look at race.

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm & constant.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.

There is no possession more valuable than a good and faithful friend.

I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.

By honoring the lives of those we admire, we make our own values known.
