Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins. Charles Alexander Eastman
The force we use on ourselves, to prevent ourselves from loving, is often more cruel than the severest treatment at the hands of one loved. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
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 Ward Beecher
