God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

nice quote

i think both is essentioal for good life

There is no true friendship between woman and man,only love
Jalaludin rumi

I have friendships with women which are purely platonic and we get along well, no love involved.

Your friendship without love, is one in million

Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly......

There can never be true friendship without love. I think what you mean is there can never be friendship between a man and a woman only intimacy. Of which I disagree.

Friends are the best investment to make for your old age

.....everyone knows what love is all about and what it requires, its the delivery of it that falls short every time.....

No that's not what I mean!!!!  My understanding on what jalaludin rumi has quoted is the basic of friendship it self is based on love.
Love can't never be defined with intimacy or sex only
When you have a friend you cherished most is because you love them

.....my last quote for the day;

Lord, help me to sort out what I should do first, second and third today and not to try to do everything at once and nothing well. Give me the wisdom to delegate what I can and to order the things I can't delegate, to say no when I need to, and the sense to know when to go home......

I'm I alone in understanding that this statement is telling us a man and a woman can't be true friends, only lovers?
