Love and esteem are the first principles of friendship it is

Summary

This quote emphasizes the crucial elements of love and esteem in forming a true and deep friendship. It suggests that without love or esteem, a friendship cannot be complete or fulfilling. Love refers to the genuine care, affection, and emotional connection between friends, while esteem denotes the high regard, respect, and admiration for each other. Both love and esteem serve as the foundation for a strong friendship, as they create harmonious and supportive dynamics, fostering trust, understanding, and acceptance. Ultimately, the absence of either love or esteem may cause a friendship to be imperfect and unfulfilling.
