It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have never made a friend from whom I could not separate, and I have never made an enemy that I could not approach.
It is not necessary to have enemies if you go out of your way to make friends hate you.
Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
Friends are sometimes boring, but enemies never.
Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided.
Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of one's self, and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another.
The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
It's good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
