3 The third quanlity for true friendship is loyalty It tells us that friends must be loyal to each other, and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicion between them
4 There must be a mutual trust between friends because if not, people cannot feel safe when telling the others their most secrets Talkative people can’t keep a friend long because they can’t keep a secret, either their own or those of others
6 The last quality for true friendship is sympathy (sự thông cảm) It tells us that to be a true friend, you must sympathize with your friend, because where there’s no mutual sympathy, there’s no true friendship
