->''Let your acquaintances be many,\\
but one in a thousand your confidant.\\
When you gain a friend, first test him,\\
and be not too ready to trust him.\\
For one sort is a friend when it suits him,\\
but he will not be with you in time of distress.\\
Another is a friend who becomes an enemy,\\
and tells of the quarrel to your shame.\\
Another is a friend, a boon companion,\\
who will not be with you when sorrow comes.\\
When things go well, he is your other self,\\
and lords it over your servants;\\
But if you are brought low, he turns against you\\
and avoids meeting you.''
-->--'''Sirach'''

->''Fujiwara... I have always thought of you as a friend. But were you to die tomorrow, I would not lift a finger to save you.''
-->--'''Kaguya''', ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar''

->''"No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather."''
-->-- '''Michael Pritchard'''

->''”If you’re loyal to everybody, can you really be loyal to anybody?”''

->FRIENDSHIP, n.
-->A ship big enough to carry two in good weather, but only one in foul.
-->-- ''Literature/TheDevilsDictionary''

->''Birds of a feather flock together until the cat comes.''
-->--'''Proverb'''

-> I thought that you'd stay by me
-> True to the very end
-> But you ran away the first rainy day
-> Just a fair weather friend
-> I had a heart I gave you
-> But you had one to lend
-> For, when skies were black
-> You took it right back
-> Just a fair weather friend
-> Foolish me, I couldn't see
-> The handwriting me on the wall
-> Sunny skies had dimmed my eyes
-> I never thought that rain would fall
-> Just when I needed someone
-> On whom I could depend
-> You walked out on me -- what else can you be?
-> Just a fair weather friend.
-->-- '''Henry King,''' [[TropeNamers Just A Fair Weather Friend]]
