"However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship." ― Francois de La Rochefoucauld Topic(s): Friendship Tags: however More From Francois de La Rochefoucauld "We may sooner be brought to love them that hate us, than them that love us more than we would have them do." "We would frequently be ashamed of our good deeds if people saw all of the motives that produced them." "What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them." More In Friendship "I think it’s important to have closure in any relationship that ends – from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase."― Jennifer Aniston "Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used."― Elbert Hubbard "One’s life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion."― Simone de Beauvoir
