No real friendship without honesty

We know that there can never be any solid friendship between individuals, or union between communities that is worth the name, unless the parties be persuaded of each other's honesty, and be generally congenial the one to the other. Since from difference in feeling springs also difference in conduct. Thucydides. The History of the Peloponnesian War. Book 3. Chapter 9.
