Don’t leave your friends or your parents’ friends and run home to your family when things get rough; Better a nearby friend than a distant family.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; Neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: For better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
