True friends say good things behind your back and bad things to your face.

About This Quote

Meaning of quote by Rose White: This is something that I especially want to work on in the upcoming year. It is so easy to talk badly about your friends, even those who you are really close to. Sometimes you just get caught up in bashing them, especially if everyone around you is. And it becomes a problem when you don’t confront them about the things you are saying. We need to sit back and ask ourselves, “If so-and-so is my best friend, why can’t I say these things to their face?” This is where you need to really evaluate your friendship with this person—do you just have a bad habit of bad-mouthing people or is this a sign that your friendship with them isn’t what you really thought it was?"
