Few, a few, the few, not a few

Few is opposed to many. It has a negative force, meaning almost none: 
I have few (=practically no) friends here. Few men are free from faults.

A few is opposed to none, and means some : 
I have a few friends here. 
Give me a few more biscuits. 

The few has a double force, one negative and the other positive. It means, not man, but all that there are : 
The few friends I had, left me' means. 
I had not many friends, but I had Some and they all left me.

Not a few = a pretty large number : 
He gave me not a few (i.e. many) cakes.
