1. The first quality for true
friendship is unselfishness. It

tells me / us that a person
who is concerned only with
his own interests and feelings
cannot be a true friend.
2. Changeable and uncertain
people are incapable of true
friendship because they take
up an interest with

- Correct mistakes.

enthusiasm, they are soon
tired of it, and they feel the
attraction of some new object.
3. The third quality for true
friendship is loyalty. It tells
us that two friends must be
loyal to each other, and they
must know each other so well
that there can be no
suspicions between them.
4. There must be mutual trust
between friends because if


not, people cannot feel safe
when telling the other their
most intimate secrets.
5. Talkative people can’t keep
a friend long because they

can’t keep a secret, either of
their own or others.
6. The last quality for true
friendship is sympathy. It
tells us that to be a true
friend, you must sympathize
with your friend. Where
there’s no mutual sympathy
between friends, there’s no
true friendship
