"Meaningful work and meaningful relationships are the keys to a good life."

"What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it."

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival."

"Friendship is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself."

"We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship."

"You are a success when you have made friends with your past, are focused on the present, and are optimistic about your future"
