“A friend in power is a friend lost.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement by Henry Brooks Adams? Support your ideas with reasoning and examples.

The writer Henry Brooks Adams said that a
friend
in
power
is a
friend
lost. Good friendships are not supported on who has more things that can be from material belongings to inner qualities. So, I could not disagree more with
this
phrase. 
Firstly
, is important to know what is a good and strong relationship between
friends
. When
people
talk about their
friends
they may have a lot of them or only a few.
This
is not important. A good friendship is that
one
where they do not have to show off their achievements.
Furthermore
, they are not worried to talk about those situations that they are screwed. Usually, when someone has a relationship like
this
it is not a problem if
one
of the
friends
turns to be in the
power
On the other hand
, some
people
when they got the
power
they change.
However
, having the
power
can refer to a lot of things: Becoming rich, Being very successful at their jobs, Even turning into the boss of that
friend
. But I am of the opinion that actually
power
works more like alcohol. It turns what
people
are into something more exaggerated of what they are. The funny
one
becomes funnier. The
one

talks more. So, if the friendship ends because
one
of the
friends
has changed it is because from the beginning he was not a good
friend
.  In conclusion, is important to know the
people
that we are because if you have

honest friendship and know the person
that is
beside you. The statement about losing a
friend
when he gets the
power
will not be true.
In addition
to
this
, I have a
friend
who is being very successful and our relationship has not changed at all.
