"Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life." ― James F. Byrnes Topic(s): Friendship More From James F. Byrnes "Freedom from militarism will give the German people the opportunity, if they will but seize it, to apply their great energies and abilities to the works of peace." "We have learned that peace and well-being are indivisible and that our peace and well-being cannot be purchased at the price of peace or the well-being of any other country." "I hope that the German people will never again make the mistake of believing that because the American people are peace-loving, they will sit back hoping for peace if any nation uses force or the threat of force to acquire dominion over other peoples and other governments." More In Friendship "There’s a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You’re left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It’s probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing, and romantic comedies are a classic genre."― Nancy Meyers "All you need to do to be my friend is like me."― Taylor Swift "When a friend is in trouble, don’t annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it."― E. W. Howe
