This is clearly seen when a wide disparity arises
between two friends in point of virtue or vice, or of wealth, or anything else; they no
longer remain nor indeed expect to remain friends. This is most manifest in the case of
the gods, whose superiority in every good attribute is pre-eminent; but it is also seen with
princes: in their case also men much below them in station do not expect to be their
friends, nor do persons of no particular merit expect to be the friends of men of
distinguished excellence or wisdom.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
