Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives. - Paulo Coelho (The Zahir Quotes)

Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.[Os verdadeiros amigos são aqueles que estão a nosso lado quando as coisas boas acontecem. Eles torcem pela gente, se alegram com nossas vitórias. Os falsos amigos são os que só aparecem nos momentos difíceis, com aquela cara triste, de “solidariedade”, quando na verdade o nosso sofrimento está servindo para consolá-los em suas vidas miseráveis.]
