Sirach 9:10: "Discard not an old friend, for the new one cannot equal him. A new friend is like new wine which you drink with pleasure only when it has aged."

Narkissos
Among my personal favourites (from Q-Matthew):
The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor's eye.

My favorite verse to look up was in the old testatment that if when two men were fighting, if a woman should grab one of the men by the privates to help her man out her hand should be cut off.
I thought it was cool the bible said "privates" when I was 13. -

Hi Quotes...I love your site. When you do a "deep"inspection of what the bible has to say on so many things you start do realise that they are only deep in sh!t. http://quotes.watchtower.ca/bible_quotes.htm

Thanks for your replies guys!b
I like the one the one Narkissos brought forth, the one about judging. I think it should stand shoulder to shoulder with:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" I find them both very important and they are derived using the same logic. "Love one another", I think is idealist as IMO you can't force love. But ofcourse it's good to keep this ideal in the back of your head. The one about friendship from the classicist is a nice one, it's also something you might find out by living The other rediculous, harsh and outdated quotes that quotes quotes point to the fact that the bible contains alot of bad advice too. I'm hoping for some more wisdom that still is relevant today, so keep it coming! Bas

I think the over-riding JW bible wisdumb I learned was:
Do unto other before they get a chance to do unto you. -
