आरंभ गुर्वी क्षयिणी क्रमेण

    लुब्ध्वि पुर्व वृद्धिमति च पश्चात् ।

दिनस्य पुर्वार्ध परार्ध बिन्न

    छायैव मैत्रि खलु सज्जनानम् ॥

 

A wicked person's friendship is too huge at start and

slowly shrinks. But a good person's friendship is small

to start and grows with time. Their difference is just

like shadows at morning and evening times.
