Stone or iron?

Proverb in the local language
Aza atao fihavanam-bato ka raha tapaka tsy azo atohy, fa ataovy fihavanam-by raha tapaka azo atohy.
Proverb's direct translation
May your friendship not be like a stone: if it breaks you cannot put the pieces together. May it be like iron: when it breaks, you can weld the pieces back together.
Proverb's meaning
Iron can be mended; stone cannot.
From: Madagascar
