Making a million friends is not a miracle, the miracle is to make a friend who will stand by you when a million are against you.
"Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
"Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods."
~ Aristotle.
"True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions."
