Summary

This quote emphasizes the need for authentic friendships based on genuine connection rather than materialistic exchanges. It warns against trying to buy or gain people's affections solely through gifts or favors. The message is that true friendships cannot be sustained through materialistic transactions alone. Once the gifts stop, those who were only interested in what they received will also cease to show love or loyalty.
