窮理查說： 「真正的友伴，是最好的財產。」
兄弟不一定是朋友，朋友卻永遠是弟兄。 A Brother may not be a Friend, but a Friend will always be a Brother.
維繫友誼不能靠客氣，更不能缺禮儀。 Friendship cannot live with Ceremony , nor without Civility.
你沒辦法戲弄敵人當你朋友； 但是你可以戲弄朋友成敵人。 為敵人。 Thou canst not joke an Enemy into a Friend; but thou may'st a Friend into an Enemy.
挑朋友要慢，要比換朋友更慢。 Be slow in chusing a Friend, slower in changing.
人際關係最極致，是朋友明智而信實。 No better relation than a prudent & faithful Friend.
寧可多跟希臘的哲學家吃鹽， 少跟義大利的弄臣吃那些蜜語甜言。 Thou hadst better eat salt with the Philosophers of Greece , than sugar with the Courtiers of Italy.
想跟壞蛋打交道，名譽利益都不保。 There is neither honour nor gain, got in dealing with a villain.
虛偽的朋友與陰影，只在光芒耀眼時現形。 A false Friend and a Shadow, attend only while the Sun shines.
公開的敵人大概是種詛咒； 但怎麼樣也糟糕不過虛假的朋友。 An open Foe may prove a curse; But a pretended friend is worse.
壞朋友，像條狗，就愛塵土起風波， 愈髒愈快活。 Ill Company is like a dog who dirts those most, that he loves best. ── 摘自《窮理查年鑑（珍藏版）》， 柿子文化出版
