I am looking for a quote I think it goes: A friend of my friend is my friend... I am not sure but I think I have read it somewhere. I don't think I am making it up to prove a point, I just need to know it exists.

Does anyone know this quote and if you do can you tell me what the quote really is?

Thanks

I think this might be the saying you are looking for:

Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

A friend of my friend is my friend.
An enemy of my enemy is my friend.
A friend of my enemy is my enemy.
An enemy of my friend is my enemy.

Fantastic, is this a real quote, even if you made it up, it works. It proves my point. I love it.

Thanks for the quote, I will do some research online to find the author.

Thanks Lychee and Radical, it's felt like trying to remember a song.

Cheers

I've seen this attributed as an "ancient arabic proverb" .

I'm curious now, if you find the author please let us know!
