One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.

In terms of friendship, one of the best ways of showing support for another person is telling them kindly if they have made a mistake. It is even better when the person being told of the fault listens to it with appreciation and then works towards correcting their mistake. This is the strongest evidence of a genuine and lasting friendship.
