Quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.

All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a man

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of friendship in any romantic relationship. It suggests that love without a foundation of friendship is fragile and unstable, akin to a mansion built on sand that is susceptible to collapse. True love is believed to encompass not only a deep emotional connection but also a strong bond of friendship, trust, and mutual understanding. Without the friendship aspect, love may lack the solid footing necessary for long-term sustainability and growth.
