"A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire."
François Duc de La Rochefoucauld
"Being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in the spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind, regard one another as more important than yourselves. Do not merely look out for your own spiritual interests but also for the interests of others. have this attitude in yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus. " ( Philippians 2)
"This is my commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.." ( John 15)
