I once had money and a friend,
By both I set great store;
I lent my money to my friend,
He was my friend no more.
If I had my money and my friend,
As I had once before,
I'd keep my money to myself,
And lose my friend no more.
--_Living Age._
655
If you have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow;
Why should good words ne'er be said
Of a friend till he is dead?
656
It is more dishonorable to distrust a friend than to be deceived by him.
--_Rochefoucauld._
657
No life is so strong and complete, But it sometimes yearns for the smile
of a friend.
--_Wallace Bruce._
658
He was never a friend who ceased to be so--for a slight cause.
--_Seneca._
659
A friend cannot be known in prosperity; and an enemy cannot be hidden in
adversity.
660
When a friend asks, there should be no tomorrow.
661
The best mirror is an old friend.
662
I am not of that feather to shake off my friend when he must need me. I
do know him, a gentleman that well deserves a help, which he shall have:
I'll pay the debt and free him.
--_Shakespeare._
663
A cut or slight from a foe or stranger, may be scarred over, but a stab
from a friend you love hardly ever heals.
--_H. L. Meader._
664
He that telleth thee that thou art always wrong, may be deceived; but he
that saith that thou art always right, is surely not telling the truth.
665
No man can be happy without a friend, nor be sure of his friend till he
is unfortunate.
666
He that ceases to be a friend never was a good one.
