Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is slow-

Summary

This quote is emphasizing the difference between simply desiring or expressing the wish to be friends with someone versus building a genuine friendship. The process of forming a true friendship takes time as it gradually deepens and matures over a period. While it may be easy to state a desire for friendship, the actual bond of friendship requires investment, trust, and shared experiences to develop fully. It highlights the idea that cultivating a deep, meaningful friendship is a slow and patient process rather than a quick and instantaneous connection.
