Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.

In misfortune, which friend remains a friend?

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

I would prefer as friend a good man ignorant than one more clever who is evil too.

Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.
