Singalasutta 26.1-22

“A friend who’s a helper,

one the same in both pleasure and pain,

a friend of good counsel,

and one of sympathy;

an astute person understands

these four friends for what they are

and carefully looks after them,

like a mother the child at her breast.

The astute and virtuous

shine like a burning flame.

They pick up riches as bees

roaming round pick up pollen.

And their riches proceed to grow,

like a termite mound piling up.

In gathering wealth like this,

a householder does enough for their family.

And they’d hold on to friends

by dividing their wealth in four.

One portion is to enjoy.

Two parts invest in work.

And the fourth should be kept

for times of trouble.”
