Choosing Friends
It is more important to choose one’s friends carefully
Than to know everyone in the world!
It is more important to have a few good and faithful friends
Than to have a thousand acquaintances who call you friend!
One should persevere to have good friends
But don’t strive to make many friends
Unless you end up with fewer friends
And many acquaintances!
Don’t seek out the strong and mighty as friends
But accept those that come your way in life
And be to them a faithful friend in times of trouble
And you will find that in the end
They are truly strong in faith and mighty in valor!
Better is a friend who speaks the truth in love
Even when it hurts your feelings!
Than a friend who always tells you
What you want to hear!
Your best friends pray for you often
The rest are there only in fare weather
And disappear when you appear to be in trouble!
