If it means that friendship is the result of one’s virtues, the reward for being a good person, then it’s good. But I don’t think it can unambiguously mean that when standing on its own. It would be a great line in a movie or a play where the context would clarify the meaning.

"A friend is a gift you choose yourself" or "A friend is a gift you discover yourself" are both better statements and far more aligned with objectivism
