  1. "A good man finds all the world friendly"

    I think this mean that, a good person doesn't give a opinion about a person who doesn't know in the first time that he or she meet , always take a time to know this new person and doesn’t get carried away by the appearances.

    for example in my case I'm not so because at the beginning I don't trust in the new people and not always I'm friendly with all the people, different is the case of my friend who is really friendly person with all and it's like if you know him since all the life. I know this because when I met him, he showed really friendly with me and we won my trust very quickly and he is so with all persons who knows because that is the way he is.

  2. "The best mirror is an old friend"

    I think this means that no one is better than an old friend who always try to help us and make us see that we are making mistakes whithout thinking.

    For example..Two years ago I thought that I could do it all alone, without receiving advice without listening to anyone, and even making mistakes .. But I used to tell my troubles to my best friend who I knew from an early age, often he tried to give me good advice but rarely i listened to him.. until a day I realized it was good to get advice from people who knows you very well because they are the people who helps you to see the mistakes that we are making.

  3. "A friend in need is a friend indeed"

    when you have a very hard problem is when a really friend appears to support you. Everybody have "friends" but only some are really friends and I think that those friends are they help you when you have problems or when you are going through a bad situation.
    Personally I haven't gone through for a similar situation but when my friends are having hard problems I try to support them and help them in any things that is possible for me. Sometimes spend your time with them, hear about their problems or sometimes, yes, lend money to them.
    Because always a person, come a time he/she needed from one friend. And that's when you recognize a very good friend.

  4. "He is a wise who can make a friend of a foe "

    I think it means that making friends is not a capacity or a skill, it´s a gift of God because we can choose our friends althogh, we can have some differences ,so it makes you grow as a person, learning something about people who are different to you and being more tolarant with the others.

    Personally speaking , at work I have some coworkers who are my friends, eventhough they are different to me in many ways for example in some ideas and the personal, but I have to tolarate and respect them because I love them the way they are, in spite of our differences and finally they love me the way I am, too.

  5. "Very few people can congratulate without envy a friend who has succeeded"

    In my opinion,The fact that many people can´t congratulate without envy a friend who has succeeded is caused by ignorance and egoism because I can´t understand why someone who consider a friend can be some envy.It should be different because a friend is the person who feels really appreciate to you.

    Actually,in our country an in general many countries of South America there is a lot of envy in people who consider even friend,Take for example the known phrase:"the enemy of a Peruvian is another Peruvian". So We should have more culture and respect because a friend feels and shows real affection for a friend who has succeeded.

  6. "(A friend is) another I"

    In my opinion it is the bests way to describe a friend bacause a friend is always similar like you. He or she has the same ideas, same hobbies, same opinios.
    Also a friend is someone who tells you the truth because when exist the honesty the friendship is for ever.
    Actually in south america we are very lovely we have a lot of friends. It is the reason that we are in good time and in bad times.
    But sometimes exist people that hurt your feelings. I think that we have to know very well a someone before tell him or her some secrets.I know cases when "friends" tell the secrets of others.

  7. "A good man finds all the world friendly"

    Well I have to accept that I used to think like that, normally I tried to be the nice person in my work and studies but there is always someone that dislike with you.
    I remember when I got my first job I entered with a high score so a few months later I got promoted to supervisor and many of my colleagues began to stay away from me.
    I had really good friends at first but in a month a lost everyone of them, I figured out that lot of people got upset cause I took a place that not lot of them wanted.
    Finally I understand that is normal that you have people around you that look at you in a wrong way just because they dont know you but not cause they dislike me I will change.

  8. "Show me a friend who will weep with me; those who will laugh with me I can find myself"

    As we know a friend is someone whom we have a lot of confidence,you can have many partners but only a few true friends, I have a group of friends with whom I have lived most of my childhood,with them I've spent a lot of experiences, one I remember most, happened when we were at school and my friend's dad died because of a disease. It was a very painful moment for our friend and for all of us but we were always with him who was our friend since many years ago and we couldn't let him on this moment of his life.
    Now here we are our friendship is stronger than in other years, I whish that our friendship not change in the future because I wont find the kind of friends that they are.

  9. "The best mirror is an old friend"

    In my opinion, A mirror will show you a picture of your face, an old friend will be honest enough to tell you about your real personality, your good and bad points. So that is an old friend will give you a better picture of your real self than a piece of glass will.

    Take for example, I have a friend When I wrong in something He allways tells me what is wrong what I do and becausse he passed the same situation.

  10. "A friend in need's a friend indeed"

    I think It means that if you have a friend that have a problem and need an advice of someone, she/he has to help him/her. A friend is who gives a good advices and always is with you. He/she never judges you because wherever you are, your friend always support you in any moments.

    For example if I need an advice I always call my best friend. For me she is very important in my life because she is a person whose friends are important to her so when I have felt sad, She tries to figure out the problem that I have and shows me that I can solve that. Or maybe if someone needs my advice, I could give her or him. I'm sure that in a bad situation the only person who can help you is a friend indeed.

  11. "Friendship is a plant which we must often water"

    It is a feeling of love for another person. One loves his friend, who would be willing to sacrifice their lives for him or her, if necessary. There is a saying, which clarifies very well, which is a friendship, "the friend is called to tell you a good news, but he appears by surprise, when misfortune haunts us."

    But most of all, friendship is a relationship in which we must work. You should often water to don't lose him. It isn't sufficient to state that one is friends with another person. Friendship is the opposite, is devoted to that other person, assign time to know of him, what their dreams and aspirations. Is concern and commitment to their needs. Since one does not always willing to open up and give the same effort all around us. Therefore, one isn't friend to everybody and many people who sometimes you frequent are just acquaintances.

  12. A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.
    I think it means that a true friend is allways with one helping or making us we are able to do something.

    I remember four months ago I had decided to leave a course because I felt that I won't pass. My best friend started talking to me and she said that I must try to present tha last job maybe I'd get a good grade that might help me to pass the course.
    Well 2 days later my friend came to my home to stay all night for helping me.
    En the end I could finish my job and I presented it.
    After a week the teacher had uploaded the grades ,I went to see it so I noticed that I passed the course. I called my friend in the moment and I told her the notice. She felt happy and said the our effort worth it .
