Quote by Thomas Gray

A favorite has no friend!

A favorite has no friend!

Summary

This quote means that when someone is a favorite or in a position of advantage, they are likely to attract fair-weather friends who are only interested in benefiting from their favored status. True friendships are not formed on the basis of favoritism or advantages, but on genuine connection, trust, and mutual understanding. The quote serves as a reminder to be wary of those who only seek to associate with us for their own personal gain, rather than valuing us for who we truly are. True friendship goes beyond favortism and should be based on authenticity and genuine care for one another.
