The Discourse on a Friend
53.
"What is a friend for one dwelling abroad, what is a friend in one's own house;
What is a friend for one whose need has arisen, what is a friend pertaining to the future life?"
"A caravan is a friend for one dwelling abroad, a mother is a friend in one's own house;
A companion for one whose need has arisen, is a friend again and again;
Meritorious deeds done by oneself, that is a friend pertaining to the future life."
