选择朋友要经过周密考察，要经过命运的考验，不论是对其意志力还是理解力都应事先检验，看其是否值得信赖。此乃人生成败之关键，但世人对此很少费心。虽然多管闲事也能带来友谊，但大多数友谊则纯靠机遇。人们根据你的朋友判断你的为人：智者永远不与愚者为伍。乐与某人为伍，并不表示他是知已。有时我们对一个人的才华没有信心，但仍能高度评价他的幽默感。有的友谊不够纯洁，但能带来快乐；有些友谊真挚，其内涵丰富，并能孕育成功。一位朋友的见识比多人的祝福可贵得多。所以朋友要精心挑选，而不是随意结交。聪明的朋友则会驱散忧愁，而愚蠢的朋友会聚集忧患。此外，若想让友谊地久天长。这需要技巧和判断力。有的朋友需近处，有的则需远交。不善言谈的朋友可能擅长写信。距离能净化近在身边无法容忍的缺陷。交友不宜只图快乐，也要讲求实用。一位朋友等于一切。世间任一美好事物的三大特点，友谊兼而有之：真、善、专一。良友难遇，如不挑选则更难求。保住老朋友，比结交新朋友更重要。交友当寻可长久之友，如得其人，今日之新交，他年自成老友。最好的朋友是那些历久常新，能与之共享生活体验者。没有朋友的人生是一片荒原。友谊使欢乐加倍，痛苦减半；它是应对厄运的不二良方，是可以滋润心田的美酒。
