[7]
It is quite clear therefore that all people have not the same claim upon us, and that
even a father's claim is not unlimited, just as Zeus does not have all the sacrifices.
Since the claims of parents and brothers, comrades and benefactors, are different, we
ought to render to each that which is proper and suitable to each. This is in fact the
principle on which men are observed to act. They invite their relatives to a wedding,
because they are members of the family, and
therefore concerned in the family's affairs; also it is thought to be specially incumbent
on relations to attend funerals, for the same reason.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
