"Friendships of the good are based upon respect, appreciation for each other’s qualities, and a strong will to aid and assist the other person because one recognizes their greatness.

Friendship based on goodness are for ever. If you happen to have more than a handful of friends based on goodness, you are indeed blessed.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit. A friend will tell you what you want to hear, but a good friend will always tell you what you need to hear".

------ Aristotle (Greek philosopher and scientist)
