Love is an alliance of friendship and animalism; if the former predominates it is passion exalted and refined; if the latter, gross and sensual. - C. C. Colton Women can form a friendship with a man very well but to preserve it--to that end a slight physical antipathy must probably help. - George Jean Nathan I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State and as for the man who sets private friendship above the public welfare - I have no use for him either. - Sophocles Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant. - Socrates All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox, O Magazine, February 2004 Though friendship is not quick to burn, It is explosive stuff. - May Sarton Friendship often ends in love but love in friendship - never. - Charles Caleb Colton There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity. - Samuel Johnson
