it is the ordinary lot of people to have no friends if they themselves care for nobody

Remember, there are neither honest people nor friends anymore. Still less anyone knowledgeable

He who hath many friends hath none.

He that has many friends, has no friends.

I don’t have many friends, I just know a lot of people.

Of all the communities available to us, there is not one I would want to devote myself to except for the society of the true seekers, which has very few living members at any one time.

The real loneliness is living among all these kind people who only ask one to pretend!

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

Still never had any friends because I hate everyone for they were so phony.

... nobody does anything for nothing. ... it is the ordinary lot of people to have no friends if they themselves care for nobody.

I have no close friends, that is, no friends.

The place where most people aren't
is where the real thing is.

Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment.

A speaker of truth has no friends.
