Niti Shatkam • Chapter 1 • Shloka 59
आरम्भगुर्वी क्षयिणी क्रमेण
लघ्वी पुरा वृद्धिमती च पश्चात् ।
दिनस्य पूर्वार्ध-परार्धभिन्ना
छायेव मैत्री खलसज्जनानाम् ।।
The friendship of the wicked, like the shadow of the morning, is very long and wide in the beginning and gradually decreases afterwards; But the friendship of gentlemen is like a shadow in the afternoon, at first it is very little and later it is going to increase gradually.
