- Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother. - A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;
but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. - Iron sharpens iron;
so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. - Like water reflects a face,
so a man’s heart reflects the man.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
