An idea from Nicomachean Ethics

Some friendships run on usefulness and some on fun, and both end when the use or the fun runs out. The best kind is between good people who love each other for who they are. It is rare, because it takes time; you have to have eaten salt together.

From Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle
