[13]
In respect of pleasantness and social amusement, the middle character is witty and the
middle disposition Wittiness; the excess is Buffoonery and its possessor a buffoon; the
deficient man may be called boorish, and his disposition Boorishness. In respect of
general pleasantness in life, the man who is pleasant in the proper manner is friendly,
and the observance of the mean is Friendliness; he that exceeds, if from no interested
motive, is obsequious, if for his own advantage, a flatterer; he that is deficient, and
unpleasant in all the affairs of life, may be called quarrelsome and surly.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
