Discarded by your friends

Yet it may be that you will be discarded by your friends, and discountenanced by your associates. Expect it, go through it. If you are a tradesman, and by saying you will not submit to an evil custom of the trade, you will become a loser, be willing to be a loser; expect that the lions’ den will be there, and that you will be put into it.

- C.H.Spurgeon, Daniel and the Lion's Den
