Those who know virtue and riper wisdom share
Their worth weighed well, you should choose with care
To cherish all accomplished fellow-mates as friends
Whose skill removes the present ills and further defends
Cherish these fellows of mighty soul and make them your own
Is to have rare kingly treasures, rarest gift to be known
Live with men of greatness, that for your own excels
Gives you the greatest power, that with a monarch dwells
For a king the counselors are monarch ``s eyes
Select these counselors with counsel wise
If you know to live with worthy men allied
You need not fear from any foeman`s pride
If your power will fall because of your associates
They will employ thunder out reproaches when you make mistakes
If there is no one to censure you, bereft of safeguards all
For no ruin work of yours, shall surely ruined fall
One without principal has no gain of usury
Likewise without friends you have no stability
Last but not least
Incur the wrath of many foes, but works greater woe
Ten-folds, the friendship of worthy people to forego.

I will be your friend. Not for any selfish reason or personal gain, but everybody needs a friend or two.
Blessings,
