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

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

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

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

"There will always be people in your life who treat you wrong. Be sure to thank them for making you strong."

"Discipline yourself to do the things you need to do when you need to do them, and the day will come when you will be able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them!"
