Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of nurturing and maintaining friendships. By encouraging one to frequently visit the house of their friend, it suggests the need for active engagement and quality time spent together. The mentioning of "weeds choking the unused path" serves as a metaphor, highlighting that neglecting friendships can result in deterioration. Just as weeds overgrow an untraveled path, not investing effort in friendships can lead to their eventual loss or weakened bond. Thus, this quote highlights the significance of consistently tending to relationships for their continued growth and strength.
