About This Quote

“Ten minutes with a genuine friend is better than years spent with anyone less.” This quote by the late Paul Harvey, former ABC News anchorman, has become one of the most popular quotations.

Interacting with people on a face-to-face basis is essential to our well-being and development, and there are few activities more fulfilling than having real friends.
