What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love. - Francois de La Rochefoucauld
One need not be enamored with all of a friends values - it really is a mutual trade. One may have a secret love but one couldn't have a secret friend.
