This conclusion seems to be supported by experience. Friendships between comrades1 only include a few people, and
the famous examples of poetry2 are pairs of
friends. Persons of many friendships, who are hail-fellow-well-met with everybody, are
thought to be real friends of nobody （otherwise than as fellow-citizens are
friends） : I mean the sort of people we call obsequious. It is true that one may
be friendly with many fellow-citizens and not be obsequious, but a model of excellence;
but it is not possible to have many friends whom we love for their virtue and for
themselves. We may be glad to find even a few
friends of this sort.
