“Never hold resentments for the person who tells you what you need to hear; count them among your truest, most caring, and valuable friends.”
“Don’t hesitate to tell your friends how much you love them. Sometimes they are in need to hear you say it.”
“... a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.”
“It’s not the people in your life that tell you what you want to hear, it's the people in your life that tell you the truth that count.”
“If you need to find out who is your friend among many, stimulate a resolutive conflict.”
“Entrust your dreams and goals to people who will cheer you on and inspire you, who will tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear so you can move forward and fast track.”
