A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure.
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
Iron sharpen iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
