Also the friendship between parents and
children affords a greater degree both of pleasure and of utility than that between
persons unrelated to each other, inasmuch as they have more in common in their lives.
Friendship between brothers has the same characteristics as that between members of a
comradeship, and has them in a greater degree, provided they are virtuous, or resemble one
another in any way1; inasmuch as brothers belong more closely to each other, and have loved
each other from birth, and inasmuch as children of the same parents, who have been brought
up together and educated alike, are more alike in character; also with brothers the test
of time has been longest and most reliable.
1 Sc. not only when they are alike in virtue.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
