It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.
True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.
When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
choose your friends, don't be short-change

friends, explain, believe, enemies
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
