An acquaintance merely enjoys your company, a fair-weather companion flatters when all is well, a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.

About This Quote

A true friend is someone who will tell you the truth, no matter how hard it might be. They have your best interests at heart and won’t let you down. True friends don’t flatter you when things are going well, they tell you the truth and help you work on the areas that need to be improved. When things are going bad, a true friend will still love you and care about you.
