When befriended, remember it; when you befriend, forget it.

Summary

This quote suggests that when others show kindness and friendship towards us, we should remember and appreciate it. It teaches us to be grateful for those who reach out to us with genuine care and support. On the other hand, when we offer friendship to others, we should not hold onto expectations of reciprocation. Instead, we should give freely without expecting anything in return. It promotes selflessness and emphasizes the value of genuine connections without keeping score or seeking personal gain.
