About This Quote

If you trust a friend and trust yourself, you will be the better for it. If you love a woman and love yourself, you will be the better for it. But, if you trust a friend and do not know your own faults, you will always suffer in your friendship. And, if you love a woman and do not love yourself, you will never know ultimate happiness or true contentment.
