[3]
Thus the friendship of inferior people is evil, for they take part together in inferior
pursuits [being unstable,]1 and by becoming
like each other are made positively evil. But the friendship of the good is good, and
grows with their intercourse. And they seem actually to become better by putting their
friendship into practice,2 and because they correct each
other's faults, for each takes the impress from the other of those traits in him that give
him pleasure—whence the saying: "Noble deeds from noble men."3
So much for our treatment of Friendship. Our next business will be to discuss
Pleasure.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
