“True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.”
— George Washington

Simplified Meaning:
A real friendship doesn't happen right away. It takes time to grow strong. Just like a plant needs time to grow big and healthy, friends need to share experiences and face challenges together to become really close. Imagine you meet someone new at school or work. At first, you might only talk a little bit. Over time, and after going through tough times together, like helping each other out during a difficult exam or a bad day, your bond gets stronger. Only after going through these ups and downs can you truly call it a deep, lasting friendship. It’s important not to rush this process and be patient, as real friendships are built over time and tested by difficulties.
