1. It is desirable that friendship with those who pretend sincerity wanes and not waxes.
2. It hardly matters whether you gain or lose the friendship of the opportunistic people.
3. One who calculates his gains in friendship is comparable to a whore or a thief.
4. It is better to remain without friends than to have such freinds who desert you in times of need, as an unbroken horse deserts the rider in a battle-field.
5. Instead of continuing, it is better to give up the friendship of the mean who forsake a trusting friend.
6. Enemity with the wise is ten million times better than close friendship with the fools.
7. The hatred of the enemies is thousnand millions times better than the friendship with the jolly good fellows and flatterers.
8. Quietly and greadually give up the friendship of those who cause impediments for your possible ventures.
9. It is bitter to recall even in dreams the felloswhip of hypocrites.
10. Never allow those, who are friendly to you in private, but disaprage you in pubic, get near you. --- "Thirukkural"
