Looking for a famous Russian Proverb
I am looking for a famous Russian Proverb in its original text/translation:
I need not fear my enemies because the most they can do is attack me. I need not fear my friends because the most they can do is betray me. But I have much to fear from people who are indifferent.
If anyone knows any other cool proverbs, please share them with me!
Thank you for helping!

This page says it's an Oriental saying.
Another one credits it to Bruno Jasienski.
And this - to Richard Eberhart.
