You cannot possess a richer treasure than that of the loyalty of a friend.
A loyal friend never deserts you.
If you stray from the narrow path he's there beside you, directing you to the right.
If you are poor and in need, he shares his bounty with you.
If you are lied against and hated, he stands up for you.
Let enemies attack you and he's ready to fight.
Let flatterers set traps for you and he springs them.
If you are wrong, he will help you find the truth;
If he cannot, he will be for you anyway.
Your condition or position in life make no difference to the loyal friend.
If you are poor and gain riches, he doesn't fawn on you.
If you are rich and lose, he doesn't abandon you.
When fame shines on you he is the first to rejoice.
Failure only brings him closer to you.
When it is time for you to balance and close the books of your life, see to it that among all the other credits you may have there, you find at least the name of one Loyal Friend!
