Sweet words will multiply a man's friends, and a fair-speaking tongue will multiply courtesies. Be your counselors one of a thousand. If you would get yourself a friend, get him by proving. For there is a friend that is so for his own occasion, and he will not continue in the day of your affliction. There is a friend that turns to enmity. There is a friend that is a companion at the table only. Separate yourself from your enemies, and beware of strangers. A faithful friend is a strong defense, and he that has found him has found a treasure. A faithful friend is a medicine of life, and those who fear the Lord will find him. For as he is, so is his neighbor also.
