Quote by Aristotle

A friend to all is a friend to none.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

Summary

This quote by Aristotle suggests that true friendship requires genuine connection and loyalty rather than simply being friendly to everyone. It implies that if someone tries to be friends with everyone, they may lack depth in their relationships or spread themselves too thin. To be a true friend, one must dedicate time and effort to nurturing authentic connections and being there in times of need. Therefore, being a friend to all is ultimately being a friend to none.
