#favorite narumitsu quote

the words from this page paraphrased and is a direct reference to Henry W. Beecher’s quote which is :

“It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.” - Henry W. Beecher
