Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not;
Neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity:
For better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
Iron sharpeneth iron;
So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart:
So doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Many will intreat the favour of the prince:
And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:
And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
A friend loveth at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.
