Love demands infinitely less than friendship.
George Jean Nathan
Love him, and keep him for thy friend, who, when all go away, will not forsake thee, nor suffer thee to perish at the last.
Thomas A Kempis
Love is a friendship caught on fire.
Northern Exposure
Love is a friendship set to music.
E. Joseph Cossman
Love is an alliance of friendship and animalism; if the former predominates it is passion exalted and refined; if the latter, gross and sensual.
Charles Caleb Colton
Love is blind friendship closes its eyes.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.
Anonymous
Love is blind; friendship tries not to notice.
Otto Von Bismark
Love is flower like; friendship is like a sheltering tree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Love is friendship set on fire
Jeremy Taylor
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Ann Landers
Love is friendship with erotic moments.
Antonio Gala
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Bruce Lee
Love is like energy. It can never be created nor destroyed...it is just always there. You just have to realize that fact and you have to learn that as soon as you stopped loving him in the way you did that love left to somewhere else. Now all you have to do is find out where that love went. That love went to whoever the next person in your life will be. That next person could be one of your friends or someone you might dislike, you just have to find that out.
Ian Philpot
Love is like the wild rose-briar; friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly?
Emily Bronte
Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.
Gelett Burgess
Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.
Charles Peguy
Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Love is when two people know everything about each other and are still friends.
Anonymous
Love seeks a guerdon; friendship is as god, who gives and asks no payment.
Richard Hovey
Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards.
R A Dickson
Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.
Anton Chekhov
Lovers have a right to betray you... Friends don't.
Judy Holliday
Lovers may be -- and indeed generally are -- enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of self in all their speculations.
Lord Byron
Love demands infinitely less than friendship.
Ethel Watts Mumford
Love is a blazing, crackling, green-wood flame, as much smoke as flame; friendship, married friendship particularly, is a steady, intense, comfortable fire. Love, in courtship, is friendship in hope; in matrimony, friendship upon proof.
Richardson, Samuel
Love is a friendship set to music.
Joseph Campbell
Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.
(Frank) Gelett Burgess
May god preserve me from the love of a friend who will never dare to rebuke me.
Thomas Merton
May the hinges of friendship never rust, or the wings of love lose a feather.
Dean Edward Bannerman
May you have love that never ends, lots of money and lots of friends. Health be yours, whatever you do and may god send many blessings to you.
Irish Blessings
Men have sometimes exchanged names with their friends, as if they would signify that in their friend each loved his own soul.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Men mistake friendship, but not sex, for love; women mistake sex, but not friendship, for love.
Peter Wastholm
My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -- it gives a lovely light!
Edna St. Vincent Millay
