He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction; But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

There are friends who may be a man's destruction, but there is a lover who keeps nearer than a brother.

Ο ανθρωπος ο εχων φιλους πρεπει να φερηται φιλικως· και υπαρχει φιλος στενωτερος αδελφου.

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
