Friendships of Utility seem to occur most frequently between the old, as in old age men
do not pursue pleasure but profit; and between those persons in the prime of life and
young people whose object in life is gain. Friends of this kind do not indeed frequent
each other's company much, for in some cases they are not even pleasing to each other, and
therefore have no use for friendly intercourse unless they are mutually profitable; since
their pleasure in each other goes no further than their expectations of advantage.
With these friendships are classed family ties of hospitality with foreigners.
