The good fellow to everyone is a good friend to no one.

Summary

This quote suggests that if someone is always being friendly and agreeable towards everyone they meet, they may not be truly trustworthy or have genuine connections with anyone in particular.

Being a good friend requires more than just surface-level pleasantries, it involves loyalty, understanding, and a willingness to engage in both support and constructive criticism.
