मुद्रराक्षस - शत्रु मित्र

मित्राणि शत्रुत्वमुपानयंती
    मित्रत्वमर्थस्य वशाच्च शत्रून् ।
नीतिर्नयत्यस्मृत पूर्ववृत्तं
    जन्मान्तरं जीवत एव पुंसः ॥

When material goals become important, friends become foes and foes become friends. They easily forget their past to achieve the goals. It is as if they take a re-birth in the same lifetime.
