Kural 821<\/p>\n
The friendship of those who feign affection is an anvil
\non which they hammer you when the opportunity arises.
\nKural 822<\/p>\n
For those who act like friends, but are not,
\nfriendship fluctuates like a fickle woman.
\nKural 823<\/p>\n
Though their learning may be abundantly good,
\nignoble men rarely learn goodness of heart.
\nKural 824<\/p>\n
Fear the cunning friend who, harboring
\nwickedness in his heart, smiles sweetly to your face.
\nKural 825<\/p>\n
Distrust whatever words may come from men
\nwhose hearts do not beat in harmony with your own.
\nKural 826<\/p>\n
Sounding very much like a good friend’s words,
\na rival’s words are nonetheless known very quickly.
\nKural 827<\/p>\n
Knowing how the bending of a bow forebodes nothing but harm,
\nnever trust an enemy, though he bends low in his speech.
\nKural 828<\/p>\n
Folded in respect, a foe’s hands may hide a dagger.
\nSo, too, his tears dare not be trusted.
\nKural 829<\/p>\n
Men may amply aid you, yet despise you in their heart;
\nmake them laugh, but let feigned friendship die.
\nKural 830<\/p>\n
When the time comes that foes pose as friends,
\nkeep a friendly face but banish their brotherhood from your heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
