Joy is the best companion, virtue is the noblest acquaintance, wisdom is the cleverest friend, and love is the kindest soul mate.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
In poverty, friends are few; in prosperity, acquaintances are numerous; in affluence, associates are countless.

It is wise to buy acquaintances, but foolish to buy friends.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Learn from acquaintances, and you are clever; from friends, and you are intelligent; from enemies, and you are shrewd; but learn from all, and you are wise.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
A kind stranger is better than an uncaring friend.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Those who laugh with you when you laugh are acquaintances, those who cry with you when you cry are companions, and those who do both are friends.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
One good friend is better than a thousand acquaintances.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
One who thinks for himself is a threat to his enemies, a refuge to his acquaintances, a prize to his friends, and a gift to the world.
