“The bonds that good men share, like good bound books, reveal new enjoyments at each new encounter. The object of friendship is not merrymaking but a stern rebuking when friends go astray. It is not constant meeting and companionship but mutual sensibilities that confer the alliance of friendship. Friendship is not seen on a friendly face, but felt deep within a friendly heart.”
- Tirukkural, 79:783-86
