જેમ સુગંધીથી અને અત્તરથી મન પ્રસન્ન થાય છે, તેમ અંત:કરણથી સલાહ આપનાર મિત્રની મીઠાશથી પણ થાય છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २७:९
जैसे तेल और सुगन्ध से, वैसे ही मित्र के हृदय की मनोहर सम्मति से मन आनन्दित होता है।

8As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.

9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

10Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
