True friends are DIAMOND,precious & rare. False friends are leaves,found everywhere.
Count your garden by flowers, never by the leaves that fall,
Count your day by golden hours, don't remember clouds at all,
Count your nights by stars, not shadows,
Count your life by smiles, not tears.
And with joy, through all your lifetime,
Count your age by friends, not years.
Friendship is a happy thing, it makes us sing, it makes us dance,
it makes us laugh, it makes us sad,
it makes us cry, it makes us seek the reason why,
it makes us take it makes us give,
& above all it makes us live.
Aperson in power is surrounded by false friends.
Hours fly, flowers die, new days new ways pass by.
But our friendship always stay.
Friendship is a relationship where virtue grows.
Keep the lamp of friendship, burning with the oil of love because sun rises in the east & sets in
the west but friendship rises in the heart & sets after death.
Good friends should be like 2 zeros (0,0)
- when you try to add them, they are same.
- when you try to subtract them, they are again same.
- But when you try to divide them, they are undivisable
It is better to be alone than to be with an evil companion.
Tirelessly benevolent, save a friend on evil bent:
This is sainthood's perfect song; every substitute is wrong.
Like clouds yeilding rain, the sun destroying darkness & moon pleasing human hearts, a good
friend comes to help spontaneously.
Do not have evil doers of friends, do not have low people for friends; have virtous people for
friends, the best of men.
He, who walks in the company of fools suffers a long way.
Whoever trusts a faithless friend & twice in him believes, lays hold on death.
The newest thing is the best, but the best friend is the oldest.
The company of good friend is like the sweet smell from perfumers shop ; even if the perfume
gives you nothing, the perfume is wafted & you enjoy it.
Six characteristics should be understood as belonging to friendship-
- that one should rejoice at anything agreeable & feel grieved at anything disageeable
- that with a pure heart, one, when asked by a deserving man, should give to him who asks
that can certainly be given, though it may be beneficial to oneself
- even though it ought not to be asked, namely one's favourites, sons, wealth . . .
- that one should not dwell there where one has bestowed all one's wealth, through a desire
to get return for one's liberty.
- that one should enjoy the fruit of one's own toil's only
- that one should forgo one's own profit.
