“That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.” – Francis Quarles

I wonder if it really shouldn’t say ‘That friendship will not continue to the end that CONTINUES for an end’. The beginning of something can often have a reason, a motive, an end. But if the friendship develops beyond that, then that ‘end reason’ sort of dissipates and no longer drives the friendship, right?

What do you think?
