赢得朋友。朋友是第二个自己。朋友对朋友都善良而明智：在朋友之间，所有的事情都顺遂如意。一个人如何，要看别人想让他如何。如果别人想要你好，你就要赢得他们的心，这样他们才会夸奖你。知恩图报最具魔力——赢得别人好感之上策，是采取友好的行动。我们所拥有最多的、最好的都是有赖于别人的。我们不是与朋友为伍，就是与敌人为伴。因此，你应该每天都结交一些希望你好的人——即便不是朋友；经过考验之后，他们之中的某些人会成为你的心腹密友。
have friends. a friend is a second self. every friend is good and wise for his friend: between them everything turns to good. everyone is as others wish him; in order that they may wish him well, he must win their hearts and so their tongues. there is no magic like a good turn, and the way to gain friendly feelings is to do friendly acts. the most and best of us depend on others; we have to live either among friends or among enemies. seek someone every day to be a well-wisher if not a friend; by and by after trial some of these will become intimate.
