① What is the first quality for true friendship and what does it tell you ?
It is unselfishness. It tells me that a man who is concerned only with his own interests and feelings cannot be a true friend.

 Why must there be a mutual trust between friends ?
If not, people cannot feel safe when telling the other their most intimate secrets.
 Why can’t people who talk too much keep a friend long ?
Because they cannot keep secrets either of their own or those of others.
