Remember, a friend does not need you to impress him. A friend loves you because you are true to yourself, not because you agree with him. Beware of grand gestures; the real mettle of friendship is forged in life's daily workings.

About This Quote

The quote above is a very profound quote. The people who have no friends are just trying to look good for them. If you have a friend, they are your true friend, not because they agree with you or you think that they’re cool, but because they love you. As long as you are true to yourself and don’t try to impress your friend with your lifestyle, you are the best friend.
