Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; so does the sweetness of a friend's counsel that comes from the heart.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are lavish and deceitful [Better is open rebuke
than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
profuse are the kisses of an enemy.]
He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.
A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.
Make no friendships with a man given to anger, and with a wrathful man do not associate
The man of many friends [a friend of all the world] will prove himself a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
