About This Quote
When you are in need of help, it can be difficult to know whether you will receive it. Some people may disapprove of your actions or even your very existence. It can be hard to trust that friends will help you, especially when they haven’t done so before. Even if you are fortunate enough to have friends who are positive about helping you, the question of whether or not they will actually follow through can still weigh heavily on your mind.
Of course, some people are more trustworthy than others. But, even the nicest person in the world may not be able to help you if they aren’t willing to risk their own reputation on your success.
