o not depend on your relationship.

If it were not for my own arm, my mouth would have nothing to eat.

FRIENDS, COMPANIONS

A friend is a second self and a third eye.

A true man is he who remembers his friend when he is absent, when he is
in distress, and when he dies.

A friend is known only in adversity.

If your friend is sweet, do not eat him up.

If you would keep a friend, do not lend him money nor borrow from him.

Keep to your old friends--your new friends will not be so constant.

You may find in a friend a brother who was not born of your mother.

The noblest man is he whose friendship may be easily obtained, and
whose enmity can be incurred only with difficulty.

He is a weak man who can make no friends, and still weaker is he who
loses them.

When my vine was laden with grapes, my friends were many; when the
grapes were finished, my friends disappeared.

Friendship may come down by inheritance from ancestors, and so may
hatred.

Nothing makes us feel so lonely as solitude, and nothing makes us so
cheerful as freedom from evil companions.

Without human companions, Paradise itself would be an undesirable place

A man's character is judged by the character of his companions.

Smoke is no less an evidence of fire than that a man's character is
that of the character of his associates.

He who associates with a suspected person will himself be suspected.

No man enters heaven who is a bad neighbour.

A good neighbour is he who is not only harmless, but bears harm with
patience.

Be friends, but do not become neighbours.

In social life be as friends, in business as strangers.

Prefer a near neighbour to a distant brother.

SALUTATION, VISITING

Return a salutation by something better, or at least by something as
good (_Koran_).

A warm greeting renews friendship.

Respect is due to a visitor.

The best of men is a rich man who visits the poor, and the worst is a
poor man who visits the rich.

Go a mile to see a sick man, go two miles to make peace between two
men, and go three miles to call on a friend.

Make your visits short, especially to the sick.

To visit too often is tiresome to your friends, and to visit too rarely
is less than what is due to friendship.

Your calls will be best appreciated when they are seasonable and not
too frequent.

Too much familiarity is a cause of coolness amon
