Confucius on Friendship

Confucius once said:

“There are three friendships which are advantageous, and three which are injurious.

Friendship with the uplight, friendship with the sincere, and friendship with the man of much observation – these are advantageous. Friendship with the man of specious airs, friendship with the insinuatingly soft, and friendship with the glib-tongued – these are injurious.”
