“We don't need a lot of friends; just a few who are willing to stay true to our friendship. A few friends are real treasures without whom life would become meaningless. This philosophy includes colleagues, students, neighbors, and all the people who we meet in life and who give us love, kindness, and support. They may not be of the same community, religion, or country but they are truly our friends in life.”
