A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother. | Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend, and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away. |
| A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. | The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. |
| Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. | Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. |
| Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man. | As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. |
