To consolidate the effect, a rhyme will help. Friendship proverbs are popular among many nations; they teach fidelity, devotion, love and help to recognize where a true friend is and where not.

Popular proverbs about friendship

A proverb is usually a phrase or phrase, the meaning of which can be expressed in other words. In addition, the saying does not teach and does not always represent a complete sentence.

A saying may be part of a proverb:

  • proverb “Two boots - a pair”;
  • proverb “Two boots are a pair, and both are put on the left foot.”

A proverb is a phraseologism that can reflect a certain phenomenon of life, while it may not be a complete utterance.

The small genre of Russian folklore can also have a humorous character.

Folk wisdom about the love and friendship of different nations

Everyone needs true friends, but there are people who value friendship and value it, and there are those who agree to betray. It is about this that the wise proverbs of different peoples of the world speak. In addition, various parables, fables and other literary works are invented that help to understand difficult situations: who, after all, is a true friend, and who turns out to be a lurking enemy.

It is these sayings that warn that one is checked only by time and when difficulties occur. A lot of life situations lead to the fact that when help is really needed for a person, then, at best, 1-2 close friends remain nearby, all the others just stop communicating with him. And often people are surprised when they see who is left. It comes as a surprise to them that the closest, the best, whom they trusted more, were not so kind and good, but even worse when they turned out to be enemies. It is precisely about such situations that folk wisdom warns.

Only thanks to a true friend you can survive all the difficulties and life troubles. No money, gifts or earthly goods can replace real friendship. Proverbs say about the importance of not making a mistake in choosing a friend, about his need, about the interests that bind close people. For each person it is very important and necessary to have in life someone you can trust, with whom you can share the innermost. In proverbs and sayings about friendship and love, a lot of folk wisdom and knowledge accumulated over millennia is invested. These two concepts are inextricably linked, because one does not exist without the other.

King and his son

The King once lived, whose only son, when he grew up, began to lead a life of a loafer and a spender. Constantly surrounded by the same worthless squanders whom he considered real people, he judged everyone and everything by their standards. Although they all lived on the King’s bounty, they secretly mimicked him and appreciated things that had no value except that they entertained them.

Once, the King summoned the Prince without warning and threw him out of the palace. Unhappy and confused, the young man went from one friend to another, looking for sympathy and comfort and asking for help. But he received nothing but the words that the king must be a villain and somewhere there must be real justice, but not in the palace.

Due to his stupidity and bad habits, the Prince was increasingly estranged from his father. Although he tried to start a new life on his own, he did not know how to do it. In his company of supposedly friends, he forgot how to see things as they are. As a result, his life became difficult and confusing. He was constantly harassed by worry and emptiness.

A few months later, the King sent for the Prince.

“My son,” he said, “now you see how your habits have failed you and how little good your comrades have.
