Kural 791<\/p>\n
Nothing is more grievous than friendship formed without first
\ntesting, for once adopted, it cannot be abandoned by the faithful.
\nKural 792<\/p>\n
Unless it begins with testing and proving,
\nfriendship may end in mortal sorrow.
\nKural 793<\/p>\n
Before you befriend him, consider a man’s character,
\nfamily background, faults and faithful allies.
\nKural 794<\/p>\n
Pay any price to possess the friendship
\nof well-born men who cannot bear rebuke and shame.
\nKural 795<\/p>\n
Seek out and befriend those who, speaking out, move you to repent,
\nreprove your wrongdoing and teach you the right ways.
\nKural 796<\/p>\n
There is a benefit even in misfortune, for it is the rod
\nwith which a man may measure the loyalty of friends.
\nKural 797<\/p>\n
To give up friendship with fools and quit their company–
\nsuch loss is said to be a man’s greatest gain.
\nKural 798<\/p>\n
Don’t dwell on thoughts that dim your spirit.
\nDon’t befriend those who flee you in affliction.
\nKural 799<\/p>\n
Even in the hour of death, the thoughts of friends
\nwho left you in your hour of need will hurt the heart.
\nKural 800<\/p>\n
Hold tight to friendship with pure men;
\nlet go of unfit fellows, even by paying them off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
