He that has many friends, has no friends.

He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends.

Have no friends not equal to yourself.

Friends should be weighed, not told; who boasts to have won a multitude of friends has never had one.

He makes no friends who never made a foe.

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

He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies.

"An Eastern poet, Ali Ben Abu Taleb, writes with sad truth, — "He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,
And he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.

Without friends, no one would want to live, even if he had all other goods.

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

How many other friends I will never meet again! Every night as he goes to bed, a man can count his losses; it’s only his years that do not leave him, though they pass.

It is certain that a man who has no need of anyone has many friends: in my own experience I have found this to be very true.

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

It’s a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.
