About This Quote
This quote is a great reminder that honesty is the cornerstone of friendship. When you are being honest with someone, it means you are being honest with yourself as well. This means that the more honest you are with yourself about what you are doing, the easier it is to be honest with someone else. Therefore, honesty is not only the best policy, but it’s also the best way to build relationships.
