781. Friendship is the best to make of all human relationships. <br /> It is the exceptional bulwark against the deeds of foes. <br />782. Friendship with the wise waxes like the new moon. <br /> That with the fools like the full moon wanes soon. <br />783. Reading a classic more and more feeds you with bliss <br /> as nourishing friendship with the noble does. <br />784. Friendship is not alone to share the joys <br /> but also to admonish and amend when a friend gets out of line. <br />785. To make friendship, meeting and moving with one is not a need. <br /> Having similar mindset gives the right to ensure it. <br />786. It isn’t friendship to keep the face in wreathed smiles. <br /> It is being genial and heartily glad. <br />787. To bring a friend back to ways of virtue from evil, and if <br /> disaster strikes, suffer along with him, is true friendship. <br />788. As the rushing hand to stop the dropping dress, <br /> good friendship succours and wipes out the coming misery. <br />789. The excellent state of good friendship is not to waver <br /> but when possible, to support, succour and bear his burden. <br />790. It is mean friendship to blazon forth brazenly, <br /> the things of worth, both of you bearing on each other.<br /><br />rajendran muthiah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thiruvalluvar-s-couplets-on-friendship/
