Quote by Samuel Johnson
The most fatal disease of friendship is gradual decay, or dislike hourly increased by causes too slender for complaint, and too numerous for removal.
Summary
This quote suggests that the most destructive danger to a friendship is the slow deterioration over time or the gradual increase of dislike due to small but persistent issues that are too insignificant to be openly addressed, yet too abundant to be easily resolved. It highlights how these subtle grievances can accumulate and eventually overwhelm a relationship, ultimately leading to its demise.
