A friend also is among pleasant things, for it
is pleasant to love1—for no one loves wine unless he finds pleasure in
it—just as it is pleasant to be loved; for in this case also a man has
an impression that he is really endowed
with good
qualities, a thing desired by all who perceive it; and to be loved is to be
cherished for one's own sake.
