About This Quote

When you need your friends the most, they will not be able to assist you. A friend in power is one who can help you out of trouble when you are in trouble. When you are the one in power, your friends will not be there to help or even give you advice, because they don’t know what to do. They will only tell you that you are wrong and that they agree with other people against you. This quote is about how people closest to us can make our lives miserable when we are in power.
