If you are looking for a friend who has no faults, you will have no friends.

Cited as a Hasidic folk saying in Winning Words : Quotations to Uplift, Inspire, Motivate and Delight (2002) by Allen Klein, p. 52Ahiqar
One who reveals your faults to you like a mirror is your true friend, and one who flatters you and covers up your faults is your enemy.
Husayn ibn Ali
I consider myself to be a true friend of the Israeli people. But I define friendship as someone who takes care of a friend, who just doesn't use or exploit a friend. And, you know, there's that old adage: 'Friends don't let friends drive drunk'.
Scott Ritter
On the whole, I don't have any friends. Friends come and go; I've lost my trust factor. I believe I have people who think they're my friend. And I believe that there are people probably in their heart who are friends toward me or are friends to me. But they're not my friends, because what I learned is that fear is stronger than love.
Tupac Shakur
To be integrated in one another, each person should annul himself before the others. This is done by each seeing the friends' merits and not their faults. But one who thinks that he is a little higher than the friends can no longer unite with them.
Baruch Ashlag
For my own part, as I once said, I like a friend the better for having faults that one can talk about.
