Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Be silent and safe — silence never betrays you;
Be true to your word and your work and your friend;
Put least trust in him who is foremost to praise you,
Nor judge of a road till it draw to the end.

The right word fitly spoken is a precious rarity.

To God, thy country, and thy friend be true.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

But to have a friend, and to be true under any and all trials, is the mark of a man!
