If all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.

No one person can possibly combine all the elements supposed to make up what everyone means by friendship.

No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.

I want to be distinguished from the rest; to tell the truth, a friend to all mankind is not a friend for me.

I don't have that many friends.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

I feel like movie stars don't have many friends at all. They have acquaintances.
