John Gay on Friendship
← Back to John Gay Profile
“To friendship every burden's light.”
“An open foe may prove a curse, But a pretended friend is worse.”
“'Tis thus that on the choice of friends Our good or evil name depends.”
“Friendship, like love, is but a name, Unless to one you stint the flame.”
“Who friendship with a knave hath made, Is judg'd a partner in the trade.”
