Friendship

Friendship by its very nature consists in loving rather than in being loved. In other words friendship consists in being a friend not in having a friend; in giving one''s affection unselfishly and unswervingly to another not in being the object of another''s affection or in reciprocating such an affection...Friendship-love as a love that is unselfish uncraving ever out-going and ever on-going is in its very nature divine love. It is such love as God gives and as man ought to give to God. It is such love as man should give to his fellow-man for God''s sake. - H.C. Trumball Our best friends are those whose company most makes us afraid to sin. These friends are rare and to be valued like solid gold. - Maurice Roberts
