Those Are Silver, These Are Gold

Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.

New-made friendships like new wine, age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test of time are surely best;
Brow may winkle, hair grow gray, Friendship never knows decay.
Alas! But old friends may die; new friends you may find.

New is good, but old ones are better
Cherish friendship, money cannot buy.

Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
