1 Anyone can claim to be your friend, but some people are friends in name only.
2 The grief caused when a close friendship turns sour is as bad as death.
3 This evil impulse we have! Why was it ever formed? How did it manage to cover the earth with deceit?
4 Some people will be your friend as long as things are going well, but they will turn against you when trouble comes.
5 A real friend will help you against your enemies and protect you in the fight.
