Learn English – English proverb or saying on “you can’t have too many friends”

popular-refrainsproverbs

I'm curious if there's an English proverb or saying that has the meaning "you can't have too many friends". The matter is, we have such a saying in Russian ("Друзей много не бывает").
In other words, no matter how many friends you have, it's good to make additional friends.

A line or stanza from a poem will do, if proverbs are few. (0:

The literal translation of the Russian original is

Друзей – (of) Friends (Genitive case)
Много – Many (here, closer to "overmuch")
Не бывает – Does not exist: negative particle "не" + verb "быть" (to be, to exist; cognate with English "to be")

Meaning, "there's no such thing as (too) many friends".

The first one that comes to my mind from my English classes years ago, is:

Make new friends, but keep the old; one is silver, the other is gold.
