"Friendship is one of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism."— Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 316
"That thought ought to inspire and motivate all of us because I feel that friendship is a fundamental need of our world," said Elder Marlin K. Jensen during the April 1999 general conference.
"I think in all of us there is a profound longing for friendship, a deep yearning for the satisfaction and security that close and lasting relationships can give. Perhaps one reason the scriptures make little specific mention of the principle of friendship is because it should be manifest quite naturally as we live the gospel. In fact, if the consummate Christian attribute of charity has a first cousin, it is friendship."
