Friendship sometimes counts for more than interfaith agreement or understanding. Friendship is deeply human.

We, however, have a different goal: the Son of God, the true man. He is the measure of true humanism.

Our modern, rootless times do seem to be a particularly inhospitable environment for loyalty. We come and go so relentlessly that our friendships can't but come and go too.

Friendship held together by nothing more permanent than hyperlinks is hardly the stuff of selfless fidelity.

If friendship is to transpire between two people, it is important that both be in a state of availability. I have often been in the company of those who complain that they have no friends.

Such unavailability may be exterior in nature; that is, people may lack the time or the emotional energy necessary for friendship.

Friendship, then, like the other natural loves, is unable to save itself. In reality, because it is spiritual and therefore faces a subtler enemy, it must, even more wholeheartedly than they, invoke the divine protection if it hopes to remain sweet.

Is must not become what the people call a "mutual admiration society"; yet if it is not full of mutual admiration, of Appreciative love, it is not Friendship at all.

Friendships are different from all other relationships. Unlike acquaintanceship, friendship is based on love. Unlike lovers and married couples, it is free of jealousy.

But friendships are freely entered into, freely given, and freely exercised.

It's just a great kind of relationship in fiction.

There's a risk.

Friendship is far more delicate than love. Quarrels and fretful complaints are attractive in the last, offensive in the first.
