Watch for phonies, keep your enemies close, watch your homies.

There will be but few people who, when at a loss for topics of conversation, will not reveal the more secret affairs of their friends.

My friends, judge me by the enemies I have made.

Friends must always be treated as if one day they might be enemies.

I distrust the wisdom if not the sincerity of friends, who would hold my hands while my enemies stab me.

But to show you my heart fully, my friends: if there were gods, how could I bear to be not a god! Therefore, there are no gods.
