They are rich who have true friends

Where wealth is established it is difficult for friendship to find a place

While pot boils, friendship lasts

Whilst you seek new friends, make much of the old ones

When good cheer is lacking, our friends will be packing

We can live without our friends, but not without our neighbours

Try your friend before you trust

Treat your friend as if he might become an enemy

Trust not a new friend nor an old enemy

To dead men and absent there are no friends

The way to have a friend is to be one

The rich knows not who is his friend

The best of friends must part

The best mirror is an old friend

Tell nothing to thy friend that thine enemy may not know

Short reckonings make long friends

Short debts (accounts) make long friends

Remember and keep in mind, a faithful friend is hard to find

Prove your friend ere you have need

Prosperity has many friends

Perfect friendship cannot be without equality

Penny in purse will bid me drink, when all the friends I have will not

Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends

Misfortune makes foes of friends

Many kinsmen, few friends

One always strength to bear the misfortunes of one’s friends

Old friends and old wine and old gold are best

Succes has many friends

One may mend a torn friendship but it soon falls in tatters

The greatest blesing is a pleasant friend

Speak well of your friend, of your enemy say nothing

One has always strength to bear the misfortunes of one’s friends

Never catch at a falling knife or a falling friend

One enemy is too many; and a hundred friends too few

One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good
