A man of too many friends comes to ruin
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother
Faithful are the wounds of a friend
But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy
A friend who is gracious in correction
is graciously shown the door
But he who is harsh with discernment
will be welcomed back again
A friend loves at all times
And a brother is born for adversity
Empty promises of a good friend
Are like fine vessels of clay
Many will seek the favor of a generous man
And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts
