We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop there is at last a drop which makes it run over, so in a series of kindness there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
To find a true love, you must first find a true friend. Love does not consist of gazing into each other''s eyes, but rather looking outward together in the same direction. To love someone completely you must love them for who they are, not what they look like. Friendship is the soil through which love''s seeds grow. If you want to bring love into a relationship, you must first bring friendship.
