Forsake not an old friend;
For the new is not comparable to him:
A new friend is as new wine;
When it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.

"Hear and Do the Word" from the Bible
HEAR AND DO THE WORD
from the Bible: James 1:22-25 (King James Version)
But be ye doers of the word,
And not hearers only,
Deceiving your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word,
And not a doer,
He is like unto a man beholding
His natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself,
And goeth his way,
And straightway forgetteth
What manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh
Into the perfect law of liberty,
And continueth therein,
He being not a forgetful hearer,
But a doer of the work,
This man shall be blessed in his deed.
from the Bible: James 1:22-25 (King James Version)
But be ye doers of the word,
And not hearers only,

He is like unto a man beholding

For he beholdeth himself,
And goeth his way,
And straightway forgetteth
What manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh
Into the perfect law of liberty,
And continueth therein,
He being not a forgetful hearer,
But a doer of the work,
This man shall be blessed in his deed.
