He who has a thousand friendsHas not a friend to spare,While he who has one enemyShall meet him everywhere.

Summary

This quote suggests that having many friends may not necessarily mean having true friendships, as they may not be genuinely supportive or reliable. On the other hand, even having a single enemy can have a significant impact on one's life, as their influence and antagonism can be felt continuously in various aspects. It highlights the imbalance between the superficiality of numerous friendships and the significant repercussions of a single negative relationship.
