Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

Oscar Wilde

But Pride always means enmity -- it is enmity. And not only enmity between man and man, but enmity to God.

C. S. Lewis

Friendship is everything. Friendship is more than talent. It is more than the government. It is almost the equal of family.- Don Corleone

Mario Puzo

By sort of combining the research of a lot of smart people, I came up with an equation for dread [dread=uncontrollability+unfamiliarity+imaginability+suffering+scale of destruction+unfairness]. The dread equation is a simplification, but it's a way to explain why we fear something so much when it is so unlikely. Part of it is the lack of control. That's why we're more scared of plane crashes than car crashes even though we know rationally which is more dangerous.

Amanda Ripley

Politics has friendship, enmity, intrigue and even humour.

Akshaye Khanna

We ought to flee the friendship of the wicked, and the enmity of the good.

Epictetus

There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.

Henry David Thoreau

But [the Arabs'] friendship was venal, their faith inconstant, their enmity capricious: it was an easier task to excite than to disarm these roving barbarians; and, in the familiar intercourse of war, they learned to see, and to despise, the splendid weakness both of Rome and of Persia.

Edward Gibbon

Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness, arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing. The central feature of pride is enmity - enmity toward God and enmity toward our fellowmen.

Ezra Taft Benson

My friends have stood by me marvelously in the ups and downs of my career. I don't believe there is anything more worthwhile in life than friendship. Friendship is a far better thing than love, as it is commonly accepted.

William Powell

There are three classes of friendship and enmity, since men are so disposed to one another either by preference or by need or by pleasure and pain.

Ptolemy

Drink in the beauty of friendship. In this world of constant change, we need the comfort of friendship more than ever before.

Susan Jeffers

Opposition is not necessarily enmity; it is merely misused and made an occasion for enmity.

Sigmund Freud

The beauty of enmity is insecurity; the beauty of friendship is in security.

Robert Frost

When I was young, I expected from people more than they could give: neverending friendship and constant excitement. Now I expect less than they can actually can give: to stay close silently. And their feelings, friendship, noble deeds always seem like a miracle to me: a true grace.

Albert Camus

When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling. Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship. And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.

Albert Camus
