Quote by Francis Quarles

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun

Summary

This quote means that a genuine friendship cannot be maintained if it is based solely on achieving a particular goal or benefiting oneself. True friendship should be built on mutual trust, care, and respect for the other person, rather than being driven by a personal agenda. If a friendship is initiated solely for the purpose of achieving an end or obtaining something, it lacks the sincerity and selflessness necessary for long-lasting bonds. Genuine friendships are based on deeper connections and go beyond mere self-interest.
