Kural 781<\/p>\n
What is as difficult to secure as friendship?
\nAnd what greater security is there against foes?
\nKural 782<\/p>\n
With wise men, friendship waxes like the crescent moon;
\nwith fools, it wanes as surely as the full moon must.
\nKural 783<\/p>\n
The bonds that good men share are like good bound books,
\nrevealing new enchantments at each new encounter.
\nKural 784<\/p>\n
What matters in making friends is not merrymaking,
\nbut a stern rebuking when friends go astray.
\nKural 785<\/p>\n
It is not constant meeting and companionship,
\nbut shared sensibilities that confer the alliance of friendship.
\nKural 786<\/p>\n
A smiling face is no sure sign of friendship.
\nFriendship is found deep within a smiling heart.
\nKural 787<\/p>\n
To divert a man from wrong, direct him toward right
\nand share his sorrow in misfortune is comradeship.
\nKural 788<\/p>\n
As swiftly as the hand moves to seize a slipping garment,
\nfriendship acts to assuage a friend’s distress.
\nKural 789<\/p>\n
Where does Friendship hold her court? It is where friends
\nfind constant support in every possible circumstance.
\nKural 790<\/p>\n
To boast, ”He means so much to me, and I to him,”
\nmerely belittles a friendship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
