Max O'Rell You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving. The greatest virtue is kindness. You can't love everyone, but you can be kind to everybody. Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish. Love is blind.
Friendship closes it's eye.
Love is like an hourglass, with the brain emptying as the heart fills. Jules Renard Friendship may, and often does grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship. It's the height of folly to try to measure infinite love by limited wisdom. Through eyes of love all things take on a new meaning. You begin by loving and you go on loving.
