The meaning of numerous and worthy friends is
easy to understand from the definition of a friend. A friend is one who exerts
himself to do for the sake of another what he thinks is advantageous to him. A
man to whom many persons are so disposed, has many friends; if they are
virtuous, he has worthy friends.
