A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive1 benefit from them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.
We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to a void keeping company with bad people.
一个小心选择朋友的人必然会从他们那里获得益处。为何?由于在这个世界里假朋友比真朋友要多。有一个真朋友要比有一百个假朋友来得好。但凡当面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。
大家需要和但凡具备好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反过来讲,大家应尽力防止结交坏人。
