The friendship? It disappears when the loved one falls into disgrace or when the loved one becomes powerful.
It is not strength but the constancy of good results that leads men to happiness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Alcohol takes away illusions. After a few sips of cognac I no longer think about you.
Marguerite Yourcenar
It is essential to study the nature of others before giving free rein to our own.
August Strindberg
The things that scare us are greater in number than those that actually harm us, and we are more distressed by appearances than by real facts.
Seneca
There are things on the way that are not as they seem to be, so we must think before doing anything, because they could be simple illusions!
