My son, if thou hast become surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand for a stranger,

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou hast come into the hand of thy friend: go, humble thyself, and be urgent with thy friend.

The friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

A man of many friends will come to ruin but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Wealth addeth many friends; but the poor is separated from his friend.

Many court the favour of a noble; and every one is friend to a man that giveth.

He that loveth pureness of heart, upon whose lips is grace, the king is his friend.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; and the sweetness of one's friend is the fruit of hearty counsel.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be reckoned a curse to him.

Iron is sharpened by iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
