"But what's the point of friendship if you can't say what's on your heart? Everyone can be nice, say nice things and flatter, but a real good friend always says unpleasant things and doesn't care about causing pain. What's more, the true loyal friend almost looks for the opportunity, because he knows that he is doing good for him.

But what's the point of friendship if you can't say what's on your heart? Everyone can be nice, say nice things and flatter, but a real good friend always says unpleasant things and doesn't care about causing pain. What's more, the true loyal friend almost looks for the opportunity, because he knows that he is doing good for him.
""De hát mit ér a barátság, ha az ember nem mondhatja ki kereken, ami a szívén fekszik? Kedveskedni, kellemes dolgokat mondani és hízelegni mindenki tud, de az igazi jó barát mindig kellemetleneket mond és nem törődik azzal, hogy fájdalmat okoz. Sőt, az igazi hű barát szinte keresi rá az alkalmat, mert tudja, hogy jót cselekszik vele."
