孔子说：有益的朋友有三种，有害的朋友有三种。同正直的人交友，同诚信的人交友，同见闻广博的人交友，就有益；同惯于逢迎谄媚的人交友，同善于当面奉承的人交友，同巧言善辩的人交友，就有害。

James Legge Translation

Confucius said, "There are three friendships which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Friendship with the upright; friendship with the sincere; and friendship with the man of much observation:—these are advantageous. Friendship with the man of specious airs; friendship with the insinuatingly soft; and friendship with the glib-tongued:—these are injurious."
